Vocab Lesson 9

Here is one of your first assignments for Second Term: a vocab lesson! Remember, your first Reading Record of second term is also due. Start Second Term out right!

1. chose - past tense of choose. The definition will be the same for both, only chose is used in past tense.

2. choose - verb - to prefer or decide to do something, to select from a number of possibilities, to pick by preference.

3. Devastate - verb meaning to destroy, to overwhelm

4. Irrelevant - adjective - not applicable, having no connection to the real issue. For example, if I asked what a noun was, and someone said, "I like pizza," their comment would be irrelevant. Their comment doesn't have anything to do with my question: it's not connected to the real issue.

5. wrath

6. Attribute - can be used as a verb, but I want the NOUN definition: a quality or characteristic. Example: One of her strongest attributes is kindness.

7. Compromise

8. Lurk

10. Modify - verb - to change, to alter, to make different.
