Word Knowledge
Yesterday I presented a question on ASVAB vocabulary.
What does “accost” mean?
As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of studying ASVAB vocabulary words to prepare for the Word Knowledge section of the test. Yesterday I asked what “accost” means. Accost does not have a prefix, root word, or suffix. The word accost is a verb. It is an action word. In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide, I presented the word “accost” in 2 sentences in my book. The first sentence was: Renee was accosted by a man on the street that said, “Hey lady, what are you looking at?” The second sentence was: We are on the search for a suspect who decided to accost. A woman. He came up to her, approached her in an alley and spoke to her in an aggressive way and frightened her. I present the second sentence in video form where my cat, Mr. Cuddles, presents the sentence in a video. Accost means to approach and speak to in a bold or aggressive way.
Did you know the meaning of accost?
