    Noisome was a new one to me. Never heard anyone say it, even in posh talk.

    I've never heard it spoken out loud, but I've seen it overused in novels - usually novels from the shallow, vapid end of the fantasy genre XD (The books where the author refuses to use the word "eyes" and will instead use the word "orbs" or "globes" - blegh. I've personally found that authors who purposefully use florid or stupidly uncommon adjectives usually produce very cruddy novels.)

    Easy. The actual SAT-level words I studied many years ago were considerably more cryptic and convoluted. My favorite was "discombobulated" :P

    My personal favorites (that I use quite often) are "spurious" and "facetious" XD "Discombobulated" is another great one, though!

    With real-world writing, the writer must first know that few USA residents read unless it is a requirement to perform a job duty or to sate a desire in private life. It is imperative to remember that the quality of US residents is declining in the educational arena. Google AI tosses out this fearsome factoid: "An estimated 45 million adults in the U.S. read below a fifth-grade level. About 54% of U.S. adults (around 130 million) read below a sixth-grade level. " This decline is purposeful, brought about by elite-class tyrants and their army of minions, cohorts and lackeys with the goal of forcing a New World Order upon the USA and all Western countries.

    I could probably have done most of this without the example sentences, since the correct answer is almost always the odd one out. I'm a bit miffed that I got 28/28 and still came 491st 🙂

    What the hell? Noisome means smelly? Where? Was it a mispelling?

    It does mean "smelly". I don't know what the etymology is.

    24/28. Did better than I thought since this was supposed to be on a college level quiz. Especially where there were four choices. They had three that meant similar things and the forth one was just the opposite of the other three so it was easy to pick out the correct answer. This should have been more like a high school quiz than a college level quiz. I am not a college level person by no meams.

    26/28. Missed 'noisome' and 'manifold'.

    I once asked a colleague, who had a master's degree in mathematics, what "manifold" means in that subject. I didn't understand his answer. I asked him for an example of something that *isn't* a manifold. He couldn't think of one!

    Sadly, the person who compiled this does not realise that 'understanding' is a synonym for 'accord'.

    No, it's not a synonym for "understanding". When used as a noun, an accord is not an understanding. An accord is an agreement. An agreement is not the same as an understanding. Even using the word in a sentence like "The werewolves were in accord with one another about which human to eat first" does not mean they had an "understanding" - it means they were in agreement with one another.

    Euphony means pleasing to the ear? The orchestral work by Louis Toebosch would suggest otherwise. But then, I have never been a fan of contemporary orchestral music.

    Just because he named one of his compositions that does not mean that it is actually euphonic XD I could write a book and title it "Bestselling Novel", but that wouldn't actually MAKE it a bestselling novel ;)
