Let’s practice some expressions from the
episode #16 of Dr. Jedidiah’s
Diary!
1. When you order something on line, you need to be cautious not to believe all the positive reviews about the product. Those rave reviews could be complete flim_______________s by paid consumers. (*meaning “a swindle or scam in which you cheat at gambling or persuade a person to buy worthless property”)
2. The movie offers the viewer the
occasional fr___________on of seeing a character in mortal danger. (*meaning
“a brief moment of emotional excitement : shudder, thrill”)
3. He was a brilliant and inde_____________
journalist who never seemed to give in to the authority. (*meaning “that
cannot be tired out; not yielding to fatigue; untiring”)
4. The unconscionable and painfully
corrupted politician was living a life sme_____________ thick with bad
scandals and horrible reputations. (*meaning “(figuratively) stained or
smudged by ….”)
5. Not every inmate is able to request com_________________
release. (*meaning “a legal mechanism that allows federal prisoners to
seek early release or a reduced sentence due to extraordinary and compelling

justify it”)
