Only 20% Can Pass This Test | Vocabulary Challenge #30

[@weejim48]

If only 20% can pass this then it’s a sad indictment of our education system.

[@EnglishGrammarHub-m9d]

Good job

[@wiegandmaechtlen2893]

A chef and a cook are not the same! A cook prepares food, a chef organizes the kitchen! Often a cook later becomes a chef, as chef he tells other cooks what to do!

29 out of 30, Dang, id never read a book with Lustrum in it. Fun quiz, simple if people read books 📚, which i devoured starting with Enid Blyton then onwards and upwards ever since. ❤ No electronic toys in my youth.😊😊

[@vivienhodgson3299]

"Onwards and upwards"...C. S. Lewis, 'The Last Battle', if I'm not mistaken. I have a box set of the Narnia books, and I still pick one up and read it from time to time. I'm 73. But I started my love affair with fantasy with the original version (hard back, no pictures) of J.M.Barry's 'Peter Pan', at age six. Enid Blyton came later, and didn't last long, and then I found C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkein... Unfortunately, they don't write books like that any more, and most fantasy seems to be all 'hack and slash'.

[@lindickison3055]

30/30 (tho never heard of lustrum. By process of elimination...most of this vocabulary (for native English speakers) could/should be used proficiently by average 10th grader (age 14-15) - tho several had more than one 'correct' answer!

[@EnglishGrammarHub-m9d]

Great job ❤❤❤❤❤

[@1812nico]

26/30 I have never ever heard of a lustrum (no. 2). I learnt a few new things again in this fun quiz. Thank you!

[@englishtestsandlogic]

Wow, 26/30 is an amazing score! A lustrum is a lesser-known term, so you're definitely not alone there...it originally referred to a five-year period in ancient Rome. I'm so glad you enjoyed the quiz and learned some new things along the way. Thanks for participating, Nic Grobler! ❤👍

[@jeffreywhitmoyer860]

The term lustrum was used in the movie Rooster Cogburn with John Wayne. It's the only time I have ever heard the term and suspect that a script writer did a lot of digging to come up with it.

[@marie-madelaineclobus8124]

@@jeffreywhitmoyer860 In french, the word "lustre" is used for a periodicity of 5 years; it was easy for me ;-) and lustrum comes from Latin

[@marie-madelaineclobus8124]

I learned a new word "pantry" ! Never heard before ... It is a very interesting quiz ...

[@michaelmacaulay8074]

I'm a native English user but this is the first time I have come across 'lustrum'.

[@jonimitchell6962]

30 of 30. If only 20% can pass this a whole lot of people can't comprehend what they read. Pathetic education system.

[@freedmm3122]

It is not just a bad education system but parents dont instill in their children the love of learning

[@elizabethcorbett674]

Couldn't agree more. 😢

[@EnglishGrammarHub-m9d]

Great

[@marymckeogh9686]

Lustrum is not 5rs, it's a purification ceremony that occurs every 5yrs.

[@judykraska400]

5 years are called Quinquennial according to Collins Dictionary. I stopped after 8 questions, this is banal.

[@tesslontoc9700]

a five year period in English is called quinquennial, but the old Romans called their 5 year Census lustrum

Avoid quarreling by all means. Try to make another side happy without expecting anything in return. It is easy to break up, but it is more difficult (and sweeter) to make a relation work.(have been married for 45 years, happily!!!!).

I suspect that those of us over the age of 60 get the best scores, however, I'm ashamed of my personal score. Twenty five out of thirty is just not good enough

[@englishtestsandlogic]

Well done, Donald! 25 out of 30 is still a great score.

Calling bs on question 23 answer as per the Oxford English Dictionary and all those who say they got 30/30. Correct answer is utopia and not nirvana.

[@SpideyVids]

Problem is that one person's utopia is another person's dystopia - Nirvana is the only answer that covers all bases.

[@Nannas-cp5nd]

There is no way it can be utopia. Learn some philosophical terms.

[@SpideyVids]

The definitions for the first two questions were absolute 💩!

[@PeterBel-Ford]

The Quiz does not work !!!!!!!!

[@minasart3819]

It was fun the first time I answer this kind of questions. Then, boring...

[@wmfield152]

In question 1, know that a commotion is not a cause. How often do you hear the expression something "caused a commotion?" E.g., “His rude and loud behavior caused a commotion at the meeting.” Have you ever heard anyone say a commotion caused something? Probably not. Some adjustment is required for this question & answer.

[@renaissancemontayre5022]

what? your questions are too easy!
