Hi Tammy. The best way to get a good grade on this assignment and any future quizzes on these words is to do it yourself. Look the words up in a dictionary, such as http://dictionary.reference.com/.
If you post your answers, we'll be glad to check them for you.
well i do use the dictionary websites they have out but i don't find them very helpful. some of the words almost have the same meaning as the other words. do you think you can answer just some of the questions you know because any amount of help is great for me.
1. Look for the word that means rambling or jumping from subject to subject.
2. The word means favorable.
3. The word means incapable of being described.
4. The word means unlucky.
5. The word means unpredictable or erratic action.
I found these definitions in Dictionary.com.
