Sample questions: Choosing a definition from the dictionary

In this simulated quiz, you will practice choosing a word definition out of several definitions taken from the dictionary. For each question, you must:

  1. see the word in context;
  2. identify the word's function (noun, verb, adjective, etc.) in that context;
  3. narrow down the word's meaning by looking at the words around it; for example, it is probable that a word used in a text about mechanical devices is related to mechanics
  4. select the dictionary definition that best approximates the meaning of the word
