Answer 1

Panda, a few comments:

1) Use m-w.com or a really good ACTUAL dictionary.
2) Be sure to spell the words write when you do the homework and when you take the test on it. Your teacher will mark off if it's spelled incorrectly.
3) You need to think about context. Since these obviously are from a piece of literature your class is reading, be able to use it in the CONTEXT in which it appears in your reading. I sometimes have my students find the sentence in the text where it appears to help with this contextual understanding.

Don't just cut and paste the answers you found here. Actually put forth the effort to understand the assignment and the words.

Good luck on this and future assignments.
