Choose a word to replace the italicized word in each sentence. All of the possible choices for each sentence have similar definitions, but the correct answer will have a connotation that best suits the context. For example, the words "delete," "destroy," and "obliterate" all mean "to remove or wipe out," but no one would ever say, "I destroyed the name from the document." The correct choice will be the word that has the best specific meaning and does not render the sentence awkward in tone or content. When choices seem close, look for a clue in the context that makes one choice better than the other. Note that the correct answer is not always the primary vocabulary word from the lesson. thrilled, dirty, ecstatic, economical, odium, phony, pleased, bawdy, dislike, discomfort, cheap, overjoyed, con artist. Bo received an after school detention for using rude language during an anatomy lesson in health class, in spite of his teacher's warning before class that such jokes would not be tolerated. Better word: _____
