    9.  The young animal would be defenseless in the wild without it's mother.

    • Celebrating

    • Hauling

    • Unguarded

    • Thriving

    Correct Answer
    A. Unguarded
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "unguarded". This means that the young animal would be vulnerable or unprotected in the wild without its mother. It implies that the mother provides protection and defense for the young animal, and without her presence, the animal would be defenseless and exposed to potential dangers in its environment.

    7.  The spy used his stealthy abilities to outwit the guards.

    • Disturb

    • Translate

    • Trick

    • Tatter

    Correct Answer
    A. Trick
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "trick". The sentence states that the spy used his stealthy abilities to outwit the guards. This suggests that the spy used some kind of clever or deceptive action to fool or deceive the guards. The word "trick" fits this description and is therefore the most appropriate answer.

    SECTION 3 - Context MeaningDIRECTIONS:  Read the sentence.  Using context, choose the word that means the same or about the same as the underlined word.  Then check the box next to the word you have chosen.6.  Native Americans have a ancient heritage celebrating the seasons in dance, ceremony and storytelling.

    • Dialogue

    • Tradition

    • Bouquet

    • Dialect

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The word "heritage" in the sentence refers to the cultural traditions and customs that Native Americans have passed down through generations. Therefore, the word that means the same or about the same as "heritage" is "tradition".

    10.  The father delicately lifted his newborn daughter.

    • Meaningfully

    • Furiously

    • Softly

    • Eventually

    Correct Answer
    A. Softly
    Explanation
    The word "delicately" implies a gentle and careful action, which aligns with the idea of lifting a newborn baby. "Meaningfully" and "furiously" do not fit the context of a father lifting his newborn daughter. "Eventually" does not convey the gentleness and care associated with handling a newborn. Therefore, "softly" is the most appropriate word to describe how the father lifted his daughter.

    2. The divers retrieved an ancient box from the shipwreck.

    • Cultured

    • Modern

    • Listless

    • Inherited

    Correct Answer
    A. Modern
    Explanation
    The word "modern" is the correct answer because it is the opposite of "ancient," which is used to describe the box. The sentence suggests that the box is old and from the past, so it makes sense that the divers would retrieve it from a shipwreck. "Cultured," "listless," and "inherited" do not provide an opposite or contrasting meaning to "ancient," so they are not the correct answer choices.

  • 7. 

    SECTION 4 - SynonymsDIRECTIONS:  Read the sentence.  Choose the word that means the same, or about the same, as the underlined word.  Then select the box next to the word you have chosen.8.  Mark Twain was known for his ability to recite wonderful tales that kept the audience engaged.

    Correct Answer
    A. A large photo album [preserves] many of the memories from my childhood.
    Explanation
    A large photo album [preserves] many of the memories from my childhood. In this sentence, the word "preserves" is used in the same way as in the original sentence because it means to keep or maintain something in its original state or condition. Just like the Native American Museum preserves a portion of the history of tribes, the photo album preserves the memories from childhood by keeping them intact and protected.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    SECTION 1 - AntonymsDIRECTIONS:  Read the sentence.  Choose the word that means the opposite of the underlined word.  Then select the box next to the word you have chosen.1. The secluded tribesmen were fascinated by the explorer's digital wristwatch.

    • Trumpeted

    • Enchanted

    • Bartered

    • Uninterested

    Correct Answer
    A. Uninterested
    Explanation
    The word "uninterested" means lacking interest or enthusiasm. In the given sentence, it is stated that the secluded tribesmen were fascinated by the explorer's digital wristwatch. This implies that they were interested in the wristwatch. Therefore, "uninterested" is the word that means the opposite of "fascinated" in this context.
