Answer 2

I can't believe you actually looked these words up in a dictionary. You have one answer correct -- # 10.

For number 1, a carefully prepared (meticulous) lecture, shouldn't be hard to follow. I told you in another post that you should use the word that means "rambling, moving from subject to subject."

Please go back and check the previous post for the hints I gave you for numbers 1 - 5.

And # 11 is especially ridiculous. Amorous means "loving." How can crimes against the state be considered loving?

Answer 3

# 5 is not D.
