Try a sample Vocabulary in context — word meaning question
Question 1 — Easy
The scientist asked Priya to record the temperature of the water every hour. In this sentence, what does the word 'record' mean?
Answer: In this scientific context, 'record' means to write down or note information, as Priya is monitoring temperature over time. Option A refers to a physical music disc, which does not fit a scientific measurement context. Option C refers to a record as a top achievement, and Option D relates to performing, neither of which is relevant here.
Question 2 — Medium
Read these two sentences. Sentence 1: The old bridge could no longer bear the weight of heavy trucks. Sentence 2: Kofi spotted a bear sleeping near the campsite. Which statement best explains how the word 'bear' is used differently across these two sentences?
Answer: In Sentence 1, 'bear' is a verb meaning to support or carry a weight, which makes sense in the context of a bridge and heavy trucks. In Sentence 2, 'bear' is a noun referring to the large mammal spotted near a campsite. Option A reverses the two meanings. Option C incorrectly claims both uses are the same. Option D wrongly states that 'bear' in Sentence 1 means to growl.
Question 3 — Hard
Read the sentence below. Which option uses the correct form of the adjective? Of all the fish in the tank at the aquarium, the clownfish was the _______.
Answer: When comparing more than two things, we use the superlative form. For longer adjectives like 'colourful', we add 'most' before the word. 'Most colourful' is correct.
