    Peevish means easily irritated or annoyed, which fits the context of being in a state of annoyance.

    • Drone

    • Goad

    • Unique

    • Animated

    Correct Answer
    A. Unique
    Explanation
    The term "one of a kind" refers to something that is unique and unlike anything else. In this context, the word "unique" is the correct answer as it directly relates to the meaning of "one of a kind." The other options, such as "drone," "goad," and "animated," do not convey the same idea of being one-of-a-kind or unique. Therefore, "unique" is the most appropriate answer.

    • Culminate

    • Literate

    • Verify

    • Indulge

    Correct Answer
    A. Verify
    Explanation
    The word "verify" means to confirm or prove that something is true, accurate, or valid. It involves conducting a thorough examination or investigation to ensure the authenticity or correctness of something. Therefore, choosing "verify" as the correct answer aligns with the given phrase "to make sure it is true." The other options, "culminate," "literate," and "indulge," do not directly relate to the concept of confirming or proving the truth of something.

    Correct Answer
    A. Oration
    Explanation
    Oration refers to a formal spoken presentation or speech. It is a type of public speaking where someone delivers a well-structured and persuasive speech to an audience. The other options, such as yearning, droning, and looming, do not have the same meaning as oration and are unrelated to formal spoken presentations.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Random classification

    • Miscellaneous

    • Unique

    • Upright

    • Ingredient

    Correct Answer
    A. Miscellaneous
    Explanation
    The term "miscellaneous" refers to a collection or group of different or diverse items or things. In the given list of words, "miscellaneous" is the only word that represents a category or collection of various things. The other words in the list - "random classification," "unique," "upright," and "ingredient" - do not convey the same meaning of being a diverse collection. Therefore, "miscellaneous" is the correct answer.

    • Seethe

    • Luster

    • Yearn

    • Verify

    Correct Answer
    A. Yearn
    Explanation
    Yearn means to have a strong and earnest desire for something. It implies a deep longing or craving for a particular object, experience, or outcome. The word "yearn" suggests a strong emotional attachment or longing, indicating a heartfelt and intense desire. It conveys a sense of longing that goes beyond a mere wish or want, emphasizing the intensity and sincerity of the desire.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Well-trained in an area

    • Unique

    • Literate

    • Yearning

    Correct Answer
    A. Literate
    Explanation
    The word "literate" means being able to read and write proficiently. In the given options, "literate" is the only word that signifies a person's ability to read and write. Being well-trained in an area, being unique, yearning, or being peevish does not necessarily imply literacy. Therefore, "literate" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Lively; full of energy

    • Culminated

    • Animated

    • Brooding

    • Looming

    Correct Answer
    A. Animated
    Explanation
    The word "animated" means lively and full of energy. It is a suitable synonym for "lively" as it conveys the same meaning. "Culminated" means reached the highest point or climax, "brooding" means showing deep unhappiness or thoughtfulness, and "looming" means appearing large and threatening. These words do not have the same meaning as "lively," so they are not the correct answer.

    • Drone

    • Goad

    • Singeing

    • Indulge

    • Yearn

    • Seethe

    • Peevish

    Correct Answer
    A. Seethe
    Explanation
    Seethe is the correct answer because it means to boil inside with rage. When someone is seething, they are experiencing intense anger or frustration that is simmering within them. This word accurately captures the feeling of being consumed by anger, making it the most suitable choice among the given options.

    Rate this question:

  • 14.

    • Verify

    Correct Answer
    A. Brood
    Explanation
    The word "brood" means to dwell on or think deeply about something, typically in a negative or anxious way. It implies a sense of worry or overthinking. The other options, "singe," "yearn," and "verify" do not convey the same meaning of dwelling on something in one's mind. "Singe" means to burn or scorch, "yearn" means to have a strong desire or longing, and "verify" means to confirm or check the accuracy of something. Therefore, "brood" is the most appropriate option that aligns with the given phrase "to dwell on in one's mind."

    Correct Answer
    A. Singe
    Explanation
    The word "singe" means to lightly burn or scorch the surface of something. It is the most appropriate word choice among the given options because it accurately describes the action of lightly burning or charring. "Indulge" means to allow oneself to enjoy something, "loom" means to appear as a shadowy form, and "culminate" means to reach a climax or peak. Therefore, "singe" is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

    Correct Answer
    A. Indulge
    Explanation
    Indulge means to give in to someone's wishes or desires. It implies satisfying or gratifying someone by allowing them to have or do something they desire, often in excess or without restraint. This aligns with the given phrase "giving in to someone's wishes." The other options do not convey the same meaning. "Brood" means to worry or be preoccupied with negative thoughts, "goad" means to provoke or urge someone to do something, and "seethe" means to be extremely angry or resentful.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Threatening; about to happen

    • Goad

    • Looms

    • Drone

    • Seethe

    Correct Answer
    A. Looms
    Explanation
    The word "looms" means to appear as a threatening or imminent event. It suggests that something is about to happen or is hanging over someone or something. The other words in the list, such as "goad," "drone," and "seethe," do not carry the same connotation of impending danger or threat. Therefore, "looms" is the correct answer that best fits the given definition.

    Rate this question:

    Finally results in

    • Orates

    • Seethes

    • Indulges

    Correct Answer
    A. Culminates
    Explanation
    The word "culminates" means to reach the highest point or to reach a climax or conclusion. In the given context, "finally results in" suggests that something is coming to an end or reaching its final stage. Therefore, "culminates" is the most appropriate word as it aligns with the idea of reaching a conclusion or climax. The other options - "orates" means to give a speech, "seethes" means to be extremely angry, and "indulges" means to give in to one's desires - do not convey the same sense of reaching a final stage or conclusion.

    Rate this question:

    • Unique

    Correct Answer
    A. Downright
    Explanation
    Downright means completely or thoroughly. It is used to emphasize the extreme nature of something, often in a negative sense. In this context, the word "downright" is the best fit as it conveys the idea of being absolute or complete. The other words in the list, such as "upright," "culminates," and "unique," do not carry the same connotation of being completely or thoroughly.

    Rate this question:
