Here is a bit of a fun assignment that could help you retain all those vocab words you’re learning. Share at least 5 vocabulary words that you’ve learned while studying for the SAT. It’s a fantastic way to share and learn uncommon words that you might find on the SAT test.

I’ll start:

1. Ebullience n. the quality of lively expression of thoughts and feelings.

2. Declivity n. downward slope.

3. Sinewy adj. strong, marked by strength. The fighter had a strong, sinewy body.

4. Susurrate v. to whisper/murmur.

5. Officious adj. volunteering one’s services when they are neither asked nor needed. He is so officious that he tries to tell everyone what to do.

Nice choices Astha! Who knew dilettante meant that! I would have guessed it to be a type of pasta or something!
