In this engaging week of vocabulary learning, we explore key terms that enrich our language skills. "Allot" teaches about distribution, while "amass" highlights the importance of collecting wealth over time. "Audacious" describes bold acts, perfectly illustrated by trapeze artists. We also examine compliance in the workplace with "comply" and understand the absence reflected in "devoid." The term "elite" introduces social dynamics, while "grapple" demonstrates challenges faced. Through the impactful term "incapacitate," we reflect on resilience, and "instigate" reminds us of the power of action. Lastly, "longevity" celebrates life.
