    7. Choose the synonym pair.
    a. Render and Give
    b. Recognition and Cognizant
    c. Stem and Root
    d. Adjust and Redo

    Recognition is an awareness or acknowledgment of something. Cognizant is also an awareness of something.
    He recognizes that there are political limitations in the development plan = he is cognizant of political limitations for the development plan.

      Recognition and Cognizant are not exactly the same – to recognize and to have knowledge of, are different. They are very close though! Render and Give, choice A is the BEST choice.

        Render and give are also not exactly same….

      That is not really the point though. Recognition is the act of acknowledging a fact or circumstance, cognizant is the state of mind of knowing something. One is a verb and one is an adjective.

    I believe it is correct.

    Render – verb – to provide or give (a service, help, etc.).
    Give – verb – to freely transfer the possession of (something) to (someone); hand over to.

      Render could also mean to cause or become something. For example: A hole in the bucket rendered it useless.

        Yes – Render has several meanings as do all of the choices -that is still the best choice.

    For the question 12 it says the answer is plight and situation. plight is a difficult situation which I agree makes it similar to a situation, but in that context negotiate and scheme are also a plausible answer for that question seeing as to negotiate is to find a solution or agreement to a problem and to scheme is to make a plan to solve a problem. in other words to find an agreement to a problem.
    It just does not add up to me so please help me understand.

      thanks for your sharp eye. Negotiate and scheme are different.

      To negotiate is to try to reach an agreement or compromise by discussion with others. Scheme is related to plan. A scheme is a plan or arrangement, or, it is to make plans, but not to find an agreement. You may, of course, negotiate on a scheme, which is to reach an agreement about a plan – but they are different things.

    Choice B is the best choice.

    Intrusive – causing disruption or annoyance through being unwelcome or uninvited.
    Invasive – (especially of plants or a disease) tending to spread prolifically and undesirably or harmfully.

    Question 8 puzzles me. To be intrusive is to cause grievance in an unwelcome manner, and to be invasive is to go somewhere one is not welcomed to go. (Go to a place, go to read something not belonging to you etc.) While they are similar, they don’t seem as similar as:

    Mysterious: To be a mystery, to be unknown or unheard of.
    Unknown: To be not known or unheard of or unfamiliar.

    The definition of Mystery has ‘To be unknown’ as a description within it. Surely choice ‘C’ makes the most sense?

    • Brian

      Not quite – the definitions you are suggesting are now quite right – they are similar but choice B is the BEST choice.
      Mysterious – difficult or impossible to understand, explain, or identify.
      Unknown – not known or familiar.

    Plight and situation are most definitely not synonyms.

    how are state and satisfy synonyms? I feel like the answers to these questions should be answered by a simple google search of ” state synonyms” but satisfy will not come up.

      SATE (not STATE) and Satisfy are synonyms
