This semester, with some trepidation, I decided to take a class on Shakespeare's tragedies. I appreciate that Ms. Robertson establishes clear expectations for students: the course requirements are ,begin underline,rigorous,end underline, but fair. On the first day of class, she handed out a detailed syllabus listing all the required readings, in-class projects, homework assignments, and tests. The course is definitely challenging, but in a good way, and Ms. Robertson is always very supportive and encouraging.%0D%0A%0D%0AQuestion%0D%0ASelect the ,begin emphasis,two,end emphasis, words that are most similar in meaning to ,begin emphasis,rigorous,end emphasis, as it is used in the passage.%0D%0A%0D%0AAnswer options with 5 options%0D%0A1.%09%0D%0Ademanding%0D%0A%0D%0A2.%09%0D%0Aharsh%0D%0A%0D%0A3.%09%0D%0Arigid%0D%0A%0D%0A4.%09%0D%0Asevere%0D%0A%0D%0A5.%09%0D%0Athorough

The two words that are most similar in meaning to "rigorous" as it is used in the passage are "demanding" and "thorough".
