Explanation
Last night, the teams held a rally to burn an effigy of the other team's mascot. An effigy is a representation or likeness of a person, typically used for the purpose of ridicule or protest. In this context, the teams are burning an effigy of the opposing team's mascot as a symbolic act of showing their dominance or expressing their dislike or anger towards the other team. The word "effigy" fits perfectly in the sentence and makes logical sense in the given context.

- D.
  
  Effigy
Correct Answer
B. Figuratively

Explanation
When someone is not speaking literally, they are using figurative language. Figurative language involves the use of metaphors, similes, and other literary devices to convey meaning in a more imaginative or expressive way. It allows for creativity and adds depth to communication by using comparisons and symbolism. Therefore, the correct answer is figuratively.

- A.
  
  Figments
- B.
  
  Dominants
- C.
  
  Turbines
- D.
  
  Configurations
Correct Answer
A. Figments

Explanation
The word "figments" is the correct answer because it fits the context of the sentence. The sentence states that the monsters under the bed are one of the many "__________" of a child's imagination. The word "figments" means something that is imagined or invented, which accurately describes the monsters under the bed in this context. The other options, "dominants," "turbines," and "configurations," do not make sense in the given sentence and are not related to a child's imagination.

- A.
  
  Stack
- B.
  
  Configuration
- C.
  
  Disfiguration
- D.
  
  Effigy
Correct Answer
B. Configuration

Explanation
The correct answer is "configuration" because it is the only word that accurately describes the arrangement or placement of the blocks. "Stack" refers to a specific way of arranging objects, "disfiguration" means the distortion or alteration of something's appearance, and "effigy" refers to a representation or likeness of someone. "Configuration" is the most appropriate term to describe the specific arrangement of the blocks.

When I said you were a pig, I was speaking in a __________________ way.
- A.
  
  Turbid
- B.
  
  Domestic
- C.
  
  Funny
- D.
  
  Figurative
Correct Answer
D. Figurative

Explanation
The word "figurative" means using words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation, often used to create a metaphor or emphasize a point. In this context, when the speaker said "you were a pig," they were not literally calling the person a pig, but rather using the word as a figure of speech to convey a negative or derogatory meaning. Therefore, the speaker was speaking in a figurative way when they made that comment.

Rate this question:
8.

Which word would best be used to describe a restless person?
- A.
  
  Disfigured
- B.
  
  Perturbed
- C.
  
  Figurative
- D.
  
  Turbid
Correct Answer
B. Perturbed

Explanation
A restless person is someone who is unable to stay still or calm, often feeling anxious or unsettled. The word "perturbed" accurately describes this state of restlessness, as it means to be disturbed or agitated. It implies a sense of unease or disquiet, which aligns with the behavior of a restless person. The other options, "disfigured," "figurative," and "turbid," do not convey the same meaning and are unrelated to restlessness.

Rate this question:
9.

Which word is a synonym for home?
- A.
  
  Domicile
- B.
  
  Dominion
- C.
  
  Disturbance
- D.
  
  Effigy
Correct Answer
A. Domicile

Explanation
The word "domicile" is a synonym for home. It refers to a place where someone lives or a residence. It is often used in legal or formal contexts to describe a person's permanent home or place of residence. The other options, "dominion," "disturbance," and "effigy," do not have the same meaning as home and are not synonyms for it.

Rate this question:
10.

What is an not an appropriate synonym for effigy?
- A.
  
  Image
- B.
  
  Likeness
- C.
  
  Portrait
- D.
  
  Imagination
Correct Answer
D. Imagination

Explanation
The word "effigy" refers to a representation or image of a person, typically in the form of a sculpture or statue. The synonyms "image," "likeness," and "portrait" all accurately convey this meaning. However, "imagination" does not align with the definition of effigy, as it refers to the ability to create mental images or concepts that are not necessarily based on reality. Therefore, "imagination" is not an appropriate synonym for effigy.
