Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Impugn means to call into question, challenge, or oppose the truth or validity of something. While censure and blame are related to criticism, they don't capture the sense of disputing truth that impugn conveys. Inert means lacking ability to move.

Multiple choice
  1. Concerned

  2. Unconcerned

  3. Careful

  4. Possessive

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Insouciant means unconcerned, carefree, or showing lack of anxiety - the opposite of concerned. The word is misspelled as 'Isouciant' in the question. Careful and possessive don't capture this relaxed attitude.

Multiple choice
  1. Solvent

  2. Debtor

  3. Creditor

  4. <font face="Arial">Busted</font>

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Insolvent means unable to pay debts or bankrupt. 'Busted' is informal slang for broke/bankrupt and is contextually correct. A debtor is someone who owes money (which describes an insolvent person), but creditor is who they owe money to, and solvent is the opposite.

Multiple choice
  1. Jealousy

  2. Ability to indentify with person or object

  3. Hypothetical

  4. Hatred

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person or identify with their experience. It is not about jealousy or hatred, but rather emotional connection and understanding. Option B correctly captures this meaning despite the typo 'indentify' instead of 'identify'.
