BULLETIN: SAT Vocabulary List 7

Students,

This is the next list of SAT vocabulary terms that we will be studying. The posting of this list is primarily for those students who tend to want to get an early start on assignments. The defining of the terms should be conducted similar to what we have done in the past. THIS ASSIGNMENT IS NOT DUE NEXT MEETING!!! I WILL NOT CHECK/COLLECT UNTIL 3/30 [A], 4/2 [B]

*NOTE: The test date for these terms is 4/16 [A], 4/17 [B]

Here is the format:

1. VOCABULARY WORD
a. definition
b. part of speech (with root suffix ending)
c. related forms (at least 3; include part of speech and underline root suffix)
d. synonyms (at least 3)
e. antonyms (at least 3)
f. context clue style sentence (underline context clue, place word in parentheses)

Example:

1. CADAVEROUS
a. of, like, or relating to a corpse
b. adjective (-ous)
c. cadaver (n), cadaverously (adv), cadaverousness (n)
d. pale, gaunt, ghastly, corpselike, ashen
e. lush, well-fed, lively, alive, florid
f. After being lost in the wilderness for two months without much food or water, the (cadaverous) hiker emerged from the forest looking much like a skeleton.
