Answer 1

Plethora means a lot of something, IF you want it in a sentence here's one. I believe that this site has a plethora of questions in the psychology section. Yes I use it in my speech as I try to use words like this to help in crease my daughter's vocabulary as she'll be taking the ACT or SAT soon. And they place a plethora of credit on the vocabulary section.

Answer 2

Well plethora is defined as "overabundance; excess" so one example of a sentance might be.."In the book I read about world war two, I learned a plethora of information on the holocaust. A way to memorize it may be by thinking plethora stars with PL, and the world plus starts with PL.

Answer 3

Yes, all the time. You see, I have a plethora of ideas and not enough time in the day to fulfill them. It's an abundance; plenty; an overwhelming amount.
To make it your own USE IT five times today.

Answer 4

Well, it CAN be used for a bunch of things, like
Peter Piper picked a plethora of pickled peppers, but usually it's used to refer to an excess of something not quite so solid, like choices, answers, opportunities, and things like that. Hope this helps.
