Solution
The correct spelling is 'Occasion', with two c's and a single s. The other options misplace or double the wrong letters.
Articles · solved example
Fill in the blank with the correct article: '______ honest man is respected by all.'
Solution
The word 'honest' begins with a silent 'h', so it starts with a vowel sound and takes 'an' rather than 'a'.
Synonyms · solved example
Choose the word most nearly the SAME in meaning as: BRAVE
Solution
'Brave' means showing courage, so its synonym is 'courageous'. 'Timid' and 'weak' are opposite in sense.
Antonyms · solved example
Choose the word most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to: ANCIENT
Solution
'Ancient' means very old, so its opposite is 'modern', meaning of the present time. 'Old' and 'aged' are near-synonyms, not opposites.
