1A/abortive: Ms. Schieffelin took on the herculean task of attempting to simultaneously feed the twins blueberries; however, her abortive attempts resulted in blueberries staining their hair, pajamas, and dog.
1B/supercilious: Ms. Schieffelin thought she caught a supercilious glance from her daughter, Julia, when she tried to feed the twins Spam, for her daughter was not too young to show disdain for such cheap, disgusting food.
1C/fractious: One might think that Julia and Eli are fractious children; they actually are quite loving kids; they just like grabbing any other part of the other twin, which often results in unintentional pinches, punches, and pummels.
1/levity (Cassie): Some students listened to the lecture; others acted with levity by watching Netflix during class.
3/wan (Sasha): The junior came to school with a wan look on his face: he stayed up very late the night before studying for his AP tests.
4/languid (Amanda): The boy was languid, idiotic, babyish; he had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
7/complacency (Meredith):Daisy's reaction to Gatsby's house--her cries of amazement, her exaggeration, her wonder--left Gatsby with a feeling of complacency.
7A/denizen (Adam): Cthulu--a monstrous denizen of the ocean--is said to have the power to end the world.
8/vacuous (Mike): When we could not come up with any ideas, when we earned a bad grade on the project, it was clear that we were vacuous.
9/florid (Sam): Her expression had changed and her face was florid with embarrassment, florid with grief.
9A/commensurate (Abby): An honors grade in history class will be commensurate to exemplary test grades, exemplary understanding of material and exemplary participation.
11/dilatory (Ariba): Mr. Johnson, the dilatory director, took three hours to assign parts for the play.
11A/ineffable (Peyton):
8/meretricious (Alec): If you are flaunting fake jewelry, if you are tastelessly dressed, if your shoes are gaudy, then your outfit is meretricious.
9/orgastic (Manisha): Gatsby hoped for an orgastic future, a future with the love of his life, a future with Daisy.
9A/truculent (Emilie): The pack of dogs were very truculent, very eager and very aggressive.
