Unit 1 Assessment 1 Part 2
Frankenstein Vocabulary Sentence-Completion Multiple-Choice
REVISION
DIRECTIONS:
For each question you missed, you must complete the three parts below, numbered correctly and written in complete
sentences, typed or in pen—absolutely no pencil.
1. For each question you missed, identify the context clues within the sentence(s) that support the correct
answer(s). Explain the connection between the context clues and the correct answer(s)—synonym, antonym,
degree, example, contrast, etc.
2. In your own words, provide the contextually accurate meaning for each part of the correct answer as well as for
the incorrect choice you selected.
3. Compose sentences for each word in the correct answer and your incorrect answer. Your sentences must be
about a text we have read and must contain precise contextual detail to illustrate meaning.
SAMPLE:
BLUE #5 and YELLOW #15
I felt the greatest ardour for virtue rise within me, and _________ for vice, as far as I understood the signification of those
terms, relative as they were, as I applied them, to pleasure and pain alone.
(A) exertion
(B) delirium
(C) consolation
(D)abhorrence
(E) adversary
1. The context clue depends upon parallel structure to emphasize opposition of ideas. “Ardour for virtue”
shows that he feels intense love for acting morally, which is directly contrasted with “abhorrence for
vice” as he feels intense hatred for acting immorally. The parallelism of “pleasure and pain” reinforces
the opposition of the clue.
2. Abhorrence means intense hatred and is an antonym for ardour. Adversary is an entity that opposes or
fights against, which suggests contrast but is not the opposite of ardour.
3. From the beginning of Act 1, Iago feels abhorrence for both Othello and Cassio and thus sets about to
destroy them both; all his actions are driven by his hatred.
The Dutch Masters’ still-life paintings reveal that time is the central adversary to man. Though we may
fight aging and decay, all humans will ultimately succumb to our nemesis.
