Vocab Quiz 4

Yesterday, I fell asleep early and well.. Didn't get to do this at all obviously. I'm going to start a big effort to learn many words more per day so get excited!!! Oh by the way, some of the questions are still from gyaanova but others are not.. They're from Sparknotes's 1000 list or Longman's dictionary. I think I'm going to stop using gyaanova because that takes a lot of time and most words are not in SAT list (the last night's list had 5/30 unknown SAT words for me).
