 vocabulary
Dear teachers,
Could you please tell me whether my explanations to the following choices are correct or not?
1. He believed that the greatest of his_____ was that he'd never had a college education.
a. misfortune b. sorrow
The correct answer is 'a'. The reason that 'b' is incorrect is because it stresses grief. Am I right?
2. The traffic police were searching for evidence to prove the accused man's______,but in vain.
a. fault b. guilt
The correct answer is 'a' . 'b' is incorrect. Is it because whether a person is guilty or not should be decided by court instead of by traffic police?
3. The fact that they reacted so differently was a reflection of their different_____.
a. personalities b. qualities
The correct answer is 'a'. What I am thinking is that 'personality' refers to characteristic of a person, such as being timid, shy, rude etc. 'Quality ' refers to a person's feature, such as being honest, hard working, kind etc. If a person's reaction to something was to speak straight instead of hiding something that's personality. If a person reacted to something bad by ignoring it that's qulity. Am I right?
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
