Word Knowledge Video

My book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide, consists of over 500 vocabulary words.  I present each of the over 500 words in 2 sentences that provide context clues to the meaning of each word.  These are the vocabulary words I review in my ASVAB prep course.

Yesterday I presented an ASVAB vocabulary question.  I present the word “wince”.

This is one of many words that could appear on the Word Knowledge section of the ASVAB.

The question is:

What does the word “wince” mean?

  1. Win
  2. Shrink back
  3. Steal
  4. Judge

Today I present a video where my cat, Mr. Cuddles® presents the word “wince” in a sentence that provides context clues.  He is dressed as a boxer.  In the video, he says, “In my last fight, I watched my opponent wince.  He shrank back from the blow and from the pain of my punch.”

The word “wince” means to shrink back.
