考试ple Question #41 :Synonyms: Nouns

A synonym of "donation" is __________.

Possible Answers:

price

interpretation

contribution

happiness

friendship

Correct answer:

contribution

Explanation:

"Donation" is a noun that means "something that is given to a charity, especially a sum of money." So, we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like "something that is given to a charity." "Price," then, cannot be the correct answer, because while "price" can refer to a sum of money, it specifically means "the amount of money expected, required, or given in payment for something," not "something that is given to a charity." "Contribution," however, is a noun that means "a gift or payment to a common fund or collection," and because "contribution" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "donation," "contribution" is the correct answer.

考试ple Question #42 :Synonyms: Nouns

A synonym of "precipice" is __________.

Possible Answers:

landform

peak

lake

cliff face

cloud

Correct answer:

cliff face

Explanation:

“悬崖”是一个名词,意思是“一个非常陡峭的中华民国k face or cliff, typically a tall one," so we need to pick out an answer that means something like "a very steep rock face." Both "landform" and "peak" might look like potentially correct answers, "peak" means "the pointed top of a mountain" or "a mountain, especially one with a pointed top," neither of which mean "a very steep rock face or cliff," and while a "precipice" may be a type of "landform" ("a natural feature of the earth's surface"), "precipice" does not mean the same thing as "landform." "Cliff face," however, is synonymous with "precipice," and because "cliff face" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "precipice," "cliff face" is the correct answer.
