More DescriptionWhat's in this Book? This book contains a Word List unlike any you have seen before. Our Word List takes each vocabulary word through its paces, denoting its part of speech, synonyms for its various contexts, its dictionary definition, and, most importantly, THREE (3) to FIVE (5) sentences using the word in its varied contexts. When appropriate, those varied contexts include both literal and figurative uses of the word. How will our Word List Help You Prepare for the GRE®? Performing well on the GRE® General Test, especially its Verbal Reasoning section, requires a strong working knowledge of the vocabulary that appears in the questions -- how those words function both literally and figuratively, how their meanings vary based on context, and how (in many cases) they operate as more than one part of speech. The following is an example of a question type the GRE® refers to as "Sentence Equivalence". The test-taker is instructed to select two (2) answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.
