ISEE Upper Level Verbal Reasoning Question of the Day

Practice ISEE Upper Level Verbal Reasoning with the production-style question-of-the-day selection for this public URL.

Question 1

Select the answer choice that is closest in meaning to the word in capital letters.

SPURN

  1. Rebuff
  2. Verify
  3. Consider
  4. Manage
  5. Accept
Explanation: "Spurn" is a verb that means "reject with disdain or contempt." So, "accept" cannot be the correct answer, because it is an antonym of "spurn," not a synonym. "Rebuff," a word that when used as a verb means "reject someone or something in an abrupt or ungracious manner," is the answer choice closest in meaning to "spurn," so "rebuff" is the correct answer.
