You're welcome.
Your answers are correct! Well done!
Here's a breakdown of how to determine the meanings of these words:
1) HUMDRUM: The correct answer is b) ordinary. To determine the meaning, you can break down the word into its parts: "hum" and "drum." The word "hum" usually means a continuous, monotonous sound, while "drum" refers to a repetitive, mundane beat. Putting these together, "humdrum" refers to something that is repetitive, monotonous, or ordinary.
2) INTERMINABLE: The correct answer is d) endless. To determine the meaning, you can look at the different word parts. "Inter" usually means between or among, and "minable" sounds like the word "mine." Putting these together, "interminable" refers to something that seems to have no end, something that goes on and on, or something that feels endless.
3) TRIVIAL: The correct answer is a) minor. To determine the meaning, you can look at the word and its context. "Tri" often means three, but in this case, it doesn't relate to that meaning. The word "trivial" refers to something that is unimportant, inconsequential, or minor.
4) FORETASTE: The correct answer is c) indication. To determine the meaning, you can break down the word into its parts: "fore" and "taste." "Fore" usually means before or in advance, and "taste" refers to a sample or sensation. Putting these together, "foretaste" refers to a sample or indication of something that is to come.
5) ADJACENT TO: The correct answer is a) near. To determine the meaning, you can look at the words "adjacent" and "to" together. "Adjacent" means nearby or next to, while "to" indicates a connection or relationship. Putting these together, "adjacent to" means something that is near or next to something else.
Great job on your answers, and I hope these explanations help clarify the meanings for you!
