“Would A College Still Accept You Today?”: Define 28 SAT-Level Vocabulary Words To Find Out

30

ADVERTISEMENT

Many people loathe “big words”. Why say “subsequent” when “next” does the trick, right? Well, it could be argued that those “big words” are actually intrinsic to how we, as people, communicate. They help us consolidate, place emphasis on key points, and avoid contrary ideas. Or do they actually help us group, place value, and keep away from opposites? It’s just not the same, is it?

In this quiz, you’ll be given 28 SAT-level words or definitions to match to their meanings. Some fill-in-the-blank and synonyms will be thrown into the mix to keep it intriguing. Think you’re ready?

When you’re done, make sure to try Part 3 of the SAT vocabulary quiz by clicking here.

    #23. Feasible means "possible" or "doable", not likely or probable.

    Feasible doesn't mean likely or probable. It just means it can be done. Not that there's a probability it will get done. Just that it's doable. It may be feasible to end world poverty, but that doesn't mean it's likely to happen.

    28. Of course. "Beach, shore" does work for the margin of an ocean though - you need to check the possibilities for each answer when compiling these quizzes. There was one on tv where it was something that takes you between floors but also allows an aircraft to take off: the answer given was "lift", but "elevator" works just as well, since that's the mechanism that creates the lift. There's more of a skill in compiling quizzes than people realise.

    Beaches and shores only make up a part of the edge of an ocean. A large part of the Indian Ocean's eastern edge directly meets the Pacific, so the margin is beaches, shores, and another ocean.

    #3 might be technically correct, but it is the worst-worded description of 'deficit' I have ever heard, so thanks for that, BP.

    #24 "social quagmire" is probably equally valid!

    Probable is not the same as feasible. And i think better is just as good as following. Easy though for any reader.

    But the word that is being replaced is 'subsequent', and 'following' has the same meaning.

    Given what's happening in the Western world, I'd say the most appropriate answer to question #10 would be "Nostalgia."
