If everyone is wearing something it could be said to be popular or "vogue." Additionally, "reactionary" means very conservative, wanting the status quo to continue and fiercely opposed to change; "dismal" means of poor quality; "prohibited" means forbidden, not allowed; "erroneous" means incorrect, wrong.

Based on the context you know you are looking for a word that relates to the reckless destruction of something. The correct answer is therefore "wanton" which means reckless, random, and cruel.

The sentence opens by explaining the natural state of human life. Most people need seven to eight hours of sleep (at least according to this sentence). The word "although" indicates a contrast between these "normal" humans and those needing less sleep. While we might think that such sleep patterns lead to sickness, we cannot assume this is what the author wishes to express. All we know is that he or she is contrasting normal and abnormal patterns. Therefore, the safest answer is "unnatural."

The key description that we have for Bill is his "crazy" lifestyle. In contrast to this, he has decided at last to "settle down," meaning that he has decided to live a calmer life. When one is "sensible," that person is practical and prudent. A "sensible" set of actions is one that is level-headed—far indeed from being "crazy."

The subject of the sentence is a tied-up prisoner trying to escape, so we can infer that we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like escape. "Constrict" may look like a potentially correct answer choice, but "constrict" actually means hamper the movement of or restrict, so it is an antonym of escape and cannot be the correct answer. "Extricate," however, means to release from difficulty or entanglement, and because it best fits the sentence's context, it is the correct answer. As for the other answer choices, "compact" means to make smaller, "abduct" means kidnap, and "censor" means remove any potentially offensive material from.

In this sentence the police are alerted to the location of the criminal this suggests he was swiftly caught or captured so the correct answer is “apprehended.” The suffix -prehend is often used in the English language to mean seize, as in “apprehended,” or grasp, as in “comprehend_._” To provide further help, “tenuous” means unstable; “mythical” means based on legend; “undermine” means to weaken.

To begin with "destitute" means very poor, without possessions. So, if the man won some money but became poor again it makes sense that he wasted, recklessly spent, or "squandered" the money. Additionally, "masticate" means chew; "confine" means lock up, imprison; "bellow" means shout, yell; "ameliorate" means relieve, soothe, calm, make a situation better.

From the context of the sentence, you can assume that the blank word must relate to the compassionate nature of the subject. "Empathy” is the ability to share the feelings of others and best captures the likely attitude of a compassionate person. To provide further help, “derision” means mocking cruelly; “nostalgia” is a feeling of fondness for the past; “fervor” means passion.

To answer this question you simply need to determine which of these answers is a noun that describes something that someone might look over. The correct answer is therefore "parapet" which means low wall, or low barrier. To provide further help, to "probe" means to examine, a "probe" is an inquiry; a "devotee" is a fan, someone who is loyally interested in or committed to something; "consternation" is a feeling of astonished frustration; a "hovel" is a small house, a shack.
