I've checked your guesses twice. You're on your own now. Please do not post these questions again.
To find the answers to these questions, you can analyze the meaning of each word and choose the most appropriate one based on the context. Let's break it down for each question:
1. The word that refers to a team captain's exaggerated claims about the number of goals scored during the game is hyperbole. To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the definitions of each option and their relevance to the context. Objective refers to a goal or purpose, not an exaggeration. Precept refers to a principle or rule, not applicable here. Eulogy refers to a speech or writing in praise of a person who has passed away, also not relevant here. Therefore, the correct answer is option c: Hyperbole.
2. The word that describes what a scared cat will do when a Rottweiler enters the room is cower. Again, we need to understand the definitions of each option and their relevance to the situation. Engender means to cause or bring about, not describing the cat's behavior. Enhance means to improve or make better, not applicable here. Replicate means to copy or reproduce, also not relevant. Cower, on the other hand, means to crouch down in fear or submission, which accurately describes the cat's reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is option a: Cower.
3. The word that means to banish, shut out, or exclude is ostracize. Similar process, we analyze the options and their definitions. Auspicious means promising or indicating future success, not applicable here. Ultimate means final or eventual, not relevant. Exercise means activity or physical movement, also not the correct answer. Ostracize, however, means to exclude or banish someone from a group or society, which fits the given meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is option a: Ostracize.
4. The word that is descriptive of a small child just learning to walk is toddler. Again, we analyze the options and their meanings. Geriatric refers to a person who is old or elderly, not a young child. Obese means excessively overweight, not applicable. Hale means strong and healthy, not descriptive of a small child learning to walk. Toddler, however, specifically refers to a young child who is just beginning to walk. Therefore, the correct answer is option d: Toddler.
5. The word "feasible" means practical. When analyzing the options, we can see that unlikely, awesome, and impossible are not synonymous with feasible. However, practical fits the meaning of feasible, which means capable of being done or accomplished, possible, or practical. Therefore, the correct answer is option c: Practical.
