Let me work through this vocabulary matching worksheet step by step.
I need to match each definition with the correct word from the word bank at the bottom.
Word Bank:
rival, impression, siesta, conspicuous, denial, bargain, monarch, tremble, unison
Definitions to match:
1. "an idea or opinion, usually formed with little conscious thought" - This describes an
impression. An impression is a quick judgment or feeling about something.
2. "clearly visible by virtue of standing out" - This means
conspicuous. Something conspicuous is easy to see because it stands out.
3. "an agreement, deal, or understanding" - This is a
bargain. A bargain is an agreement between people.
4. "competitor or opponent" - This is a
rival. A rival is someone who competes against you.
5. "simultaneous performance of action" - This means
unison. When people do something in unison, they do it at the same time.
6. "afternoon nap or rest" - This is a
siesta. A siesta is specifically an afternoon rest or nap.
7. "sovereign head of state" - This is a
monarch. A monarch is a king or queen who rules a country.
8. "to shake involuntarily" - This means
tremble. To tremble is to shake without meaning to, often from fear or cold.
9. "a contradiction or repudiation" - This is
denial. Denial means refusing to accept something as true or rejecting it.
Let me double-check my answers:
- impression ✓ (idea/opinion)
- conspicuous ✓ (visible/standing out)
- bargain ✓ (agreement/deal)
- rival ✓ (competitor/opponent)
- unison ✓ (simultaneous action)
- siesta ✓ (afternoon nap)
- monarch ✓ (head of state)
- tremble ✓ (shake involuntarily)
- denial ✓ (contradiction/repudiation)
All 9 words are used and all definitions are matched correctly.
Final Answer:
1. impression
2. conspicuous
3. bargain
4. rival
5. unison
6. siesta
7. monarch
8. tremble
9. denial
