    Explanation
    Extrapolate means to infer or estimate by extending or projecting known information. It involves using existing data or trends to make predictions or draw conclusions about unknown or future situations. This process requires analyzing the available information and making logical assumptions based on patterns or relationships observed in the data.

    • Lucid

    • Conjecture

    • Didactic

    Correct Answer
    A. Loquacious
    Explanation
    Loquacious means very talkative or tending to talk a lot. This word accurately describes someone who talks excessively or is prone to rambling on in conversations. It implies a person who is verbose and enjoys sharing their thoughts and ideas through speech. The other options, lucid, conjecture, and didactic, do not convey the same meaning as loquacious and are unrelated to being talkative.

  • 5. 

    Easily understood; clear

    • Lucid

    • Conjecture

    • Effusive

    • Candid

    Correct Answer
    A. Lucid
    Explanation
    Lucid means easily understood or clear. It is the best fit for the given description as it matches the meaning of "easily understood; clear". The other options, conjecture, effusive, and candid, do not convey the same meaning and are not synonymous with easily understood or clear. Therefore, lucid is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Euphemism
    Explanation
    An euphemism is a mild, indirect, or vague term that is used to substitute for a harsh, blunt, or offensive term. It is a way of expressing something unpleasant or sensitive in a more polite or socially acceptable manner. Euphemisms are commonly used in various situations, such as discussing death, bodily functions, or sensitive topics, to avoid causing offense or discomfort.

    Rate this question:

    Inference; guesswork

    • Conjecture

    • Extrapolate

    • Incoherent

    • Lucid

    Correct Answer
    A. Conjecture
    Explanation
    Conjecture is the correct answer because it means forming an opinion or supposition based on incomplete information or guesswork. It is a logical inference or conclusion based on limited evidence or reasoning. The other options, such as extrapolate, lucid, and incoherent, do not convey the same meaning as conjecture and are not synonymous with inference or guesswork.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    To imply and communicate steathly

    • Insinuate

    • Conjecture

    • Euphemism

    • Extrapolate

    Correct Answer
    A. Insinuate
    Explanation
    Insinuate means to imply or suggest something indirectly or subtly. It involves communicating a message in a stealthy or sly manner. This word accurately captures the idea of implying and communicating stealthily, making it the correct answer. Conjecture means to guess or speculate, euphemism refers to the use of a mild or indirect word or phrase in place of a harsh or offensive one, and extrapolate means to estimate or infer something based on known information.

    • Didactic

    • Insinuate

    Correct Answer
    A. Didactic
    Explanation
    The word "didactic" means intended to teach or instruct. It implies that something is educational or informative in nature. Out of the given options, "didactic" is the most suitable word that aligns with the meaning. "Instructive" is a synonym of "didactic" and also conveys the same idea of providing knowledge or guidance. "Insinuate" means to suggest indirectly, "effusive" means expressing feelings of gratitude or pleasure in an unrestrained or heartfelt manner, and "loquacious" means talkative. These options do not match the meaning of "didactic."
