Word Knowledge Question

In teaching my ASVAB prep course, I wrote a book called The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide to help my students prepare for the vocabulary and reading sections of the ASVAB.  I worked to find common ASVAB vocabulary words by reviewing a variety of ASVAB study guides. Then I compiled a list of the words and included them in my book.  Today I present an ASVAB vocabulary word for review.  The word is “horrendous”.  The word “horrendous” is one of many words that could appear on the Word Knowledge section of the ASVAB.

The question is:

What does horrendous mean?

  1. Tremendous
  2. Horrible
  3. Pleasant
  4. Condescending

Do you know what horrendous means?  In two days, will present the meaning of the word in video format. My cat, Mr. Cuddles®, will appear in video format tomorrow.  The video will present the word in context of a sentence to help present the meaning.
