a. impudent: intolerant synnonym
I agree completely with charlee
1) c
2) d
answers are C and B..i am sure about it as they are from big book
for the first one i’m confused between b and c
all gadgets are tools but all tools may not be called gadgets.
similarly posters is a wider category and sort of superset of leaflets.
as per c various explanations are already given above and i agree to them.
a
and
d
C,B
gadget pin it is a tool used in tin simthy ,and trinklet : jewellery ,trinkelts are also a kind of jewellary
srry phoenix bulb is nt a tool it is a device works as power as its source
Answer for second is also d .As gullible is who blindly accepts thing and thus is easily deceived.
Answer for first can be d . As gadget is a small device and it is highly specialised. Similarly socket is a device or appliance. While bulb is a tool.
gadgets are a special kind of tools, just as trinkets are a special kind of jewelery (C)
patriotic is the consequence of being chauvinistic, just as receptive is the the consequence of being gullible (D)
patriotic:chauvenistic — I’d choose “d” receptive:gullible
chauvenistic is being blindly patriotic to a group to which one belongs; taking patriotism (a favorable quality) to extreme (becoming a negative quality)
being receptive is open-minded, being gullible is believing readily and blindly
as for the first — gadgets:tools, I would answer “c,” trinkets:jewelry
tools are often referred to as gadgets — it’s sort of a diminutive, collective, nebulous sort of description of all the tools
jewelry be referred to in the same way as trinkets — a diminutive, collective, nebulous sort of description of all the jewelry
I would not answer “a” because linen includes blankets, but also tablecloths and other household “linens” — blankets is one specific item of many included in the term “linen”
hi for first one a is the anwer , by using tools we prepare gadgets like we prepare blankets by linen
