Dr. Jedidiah's Diary: WORKSHEET #16.

WORKSHEET #16

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 reasons. In practical terms, it means an inmate can ask the court to let them out of prison before their sentence is fully served if severe circumstances justify it”)
