Answer 2

Not to be unkind, but there's a difference between 'help me' and 'do my work for me.' You're falling into the latter category, which means technically you're cheating. Which means you're not really learning anything. Which means you're wasting your time as well as ours. If you really have that little interest in learning, be honest enough to toss the assignment and go play 'Halo' or something. You're supposed to be learning *how* to look things up for yourself; we're not going to be here every time you find an unfamiliar word and want to know what it means.

Here's a present, though: 'subversion' means 'degradation by alteration' or literally 'turning under' - from 'sub' (under) and version (gerund of 'vert' meaning to turn). It suggests not merely twisting, but lowering the status of something by changing its nature. For example, asking others to do your homework for you is a subversion of the intended purpose of that exercise.

You're welcome.
