Word Knowledge
In working as an ASVAB tutor, I wrote a book to review the Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension sections of the ASVAB. My book includes over 500 ASVAB vocabulary words. I present each word in 2 sentences that provide context clues to the words’ meaning.
Yesterday I presented the word “adversary”, which is one of the over 500 words in my book.
Do you know what adversary means?
These are the choices I presented:
- Ally
- Enemy
- Side effect
- Hardship
The meaning of adversary is enemy.
Today. I present a video that shows the word in context. “I am dressed in armor so I am ready to meet my adversary. We must remain safe while we’re trying to battle our enemies.”
Adversary is a negative word. The choice A. ally is a positive word so that can be eliminated.
Other words that sound a little like adversary are adverse and adversity.
Adverse means harmful. Adversity means hardship.
The meaning of adversary is enemy.
