There is a word printed in italics before each selection. Use the context of each selection to identify and underline the synonym of that word.
1. strange
I was really
appalled at how Don decorated his new apartment. Almost everything is
solid black. When anyone sits on a chair or couch, a scream comes out
of a concealed loudspeaker. Don thinks it’s hilarious. I
think he has a bizarre sense of humor!
2. religions
You’ll almost never win an argument about religion. There are
some points where most individuals will agree and many points of
disagreement. Of course you can’t agree with every faith, but
you can respect people of all creeds.
3. stick This
tape you gave me doesn’t work at all! I can’t get a
single poster to adhere to the wall. I’m going to have to use
my staple gun.
4. smell Patty
loves to use an abundant amount of garlic in her cooking. Almost any
time you approach her kitchen, the aroma of that famous plant is
unmistakable.
5. write Ronald wanted to
establish an advantage over the other boys who were all trying to win
Mary’s heart. Deciding to inscribe his and Mary’s
names on the tree in her front yard turned out to be a blunder. He
certainly did not win the affection of her parents.
