Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this thanks! From the words below supply the words that complete the sentences.
Hypocritical, Homogenous, Piety, Pompous, Surmise, Susceptible, Validate, Catalyst.
A. I said that he was POMPOUS because he pretends to be filled with PIETY, but I know that he is a bigger sinner than I am. I wouldn't even mind that if on Sundays in church he wasn't so SUSCEPTTIBLE.
B. In order to VALIDATE their claims to the inventors, management needed to find a CATALYST that could light a spark under the research team.
C. Based on his very frail appearance, a mugger might SURMISE that he would be HYPOCRITICAL to a strong arm attack; however, that would be a great mistake.

Great job! Overall, you have made correct use of the words. I will provide a few minor corrections for clarity:
A. I said that he was POMPOUS because he pretends to be filled with PIETY, but I suspect that he is a bigger sinner than I am. I wouldn't even mind that if, on Sundays in church, he wasn't so SUSCEPTIBLE.
Explanation: Here, you correctly used "pompous" to describe someone who pretends to have higher moral values ("piety") than they actually possess. I suggest using "susceptible" instead of "susceptttible" for the correct spelling. Also, changing "I know" to "I suspect" indicates that you strongly believe the person is a bigger sinner.
B. In order to VALIDATE their claims to the investors, management needed to find a CATALYST that could ignite enthusiasm within the research team.
Explanation: Here, you correctly used "validate" to indicate that management needed to confirm or prove the truth of their claims. The word "catalyst" is appropriate to describe something that can spark or trigger a positive reaction or response.
C. Based on his frail appearance, a mugger might SURMISE that it would be HOMOGENOUS to attempt a strong-arm attack on him. However, that would be a great mistake.
Explanation: Here, you correctly used "surmise" to mean making an educated guess or inference based on available information. To provide a more appropriate completion, you can use "homogenous" to mean that the person may seem weak and easy to overpower. This adds to the idea that the mugger's assumption would be inaccurate.
Great job on using the words in the sentences! If you have any further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask.
