In a prior post, it was suggested that 30 questions was too many.

Instead of making a shorter post, you post 40 questions.

Please post no more than 10 at a time.

Some of these are easily answered with a dictionary. Did you use one? Did you look up EVERY SINGLE WORD so that you could know for certain that some were clearly wrong?

No one who used a dictionary would say that someone who is "scant" must go on a diet.

Until I believe that you have tried to eliminate some of the clearly wrong answers, I'm not interested in helping you. You have to try to help yourself first.

OK, but Barb has asked a very pertinent question. Have you looked up every single choice in a dictionary, tried to put it in the sentence and see if it makes sense?

Have you looked up "scant"? What does it say? What do you understand by "go on a diet"?

Thanks i have looked "scant" means "Barely sufficient". I think the correct answer is plump.

[emsr2d2]

Thanks, I have looked and "scant" means "Barely sufficient". I think the correct answer is "plump".

You are correct now. The correct answer is "plump" which is why the person needs to "go on a diet" - that's what you do in order to lose weight.

Other answer is right or not.I have avoid fat item things and do exercise.

Please look up the meanings of the word "garnish" and "concoction" and look at the sentences you chose them for. Do they make sense?

Then look up the other choices you were give for those two questions.

Do NOT just come back and say "I think it's D" or "I think it's A." Tell us in your own words what you think the right choice means and why if fits in that sentence.

I was looked "garnish" is not correct. The garbage was giving off a "stench" and People with heart problems should "peruse" fatty food.

[~Mav~]

*** NOT A TEACHER ***

People with heart problems should "peruse" fatty food.

After all, perusing fatty food can't hurt as long as they don't eat it , but the correct answer is " steer clear of (=keep away from/make sure to avoid) fatty food".
