  1. English 10 Vocabulary Week #6

  2. Copy the words and definitions on your own paper: • Flagrant: outrageous, glaringly bad • Admonish: to warn, to reprimand • Duress: done under force or compulsion • Culprit: a guilty person • Inexorable: inflexible, unrelenting • Rampant: going unchecked, widespread • Inane: foolish • Ethics: rules, code of principles • Concur: to agree • Clandestine: secret, undercover

  3. Using the words in context: • During his first weeks at the new school, Bob noticed that cheating was rampant. He had always considered it rather inane to cheat on a test because of his code of ethics, and because so much was at stake. Apparently the other students didn’t concur. In fact, even the presence of a teacher did not intimidate them. Far from being clandestine about their cheating, the students were open and obvious in their dishonesty.

  4. Using the words in context: • The new principal at the school determined to do something about the flagrant cheating at the school. He issued bulletins and began to admonish those teachers who did not watch students closely during tests. Under duress, the teachers reported the names of the culprits. Many students failed their classes and were forced to take summer school. The principal’s inexorable campaign against cheating had paid off.

  5. Number 1-10. Write the correct vocabulary word to fit each sentence below: • 1. The confession was signed under XXXX, the attorney claimed. • 2. The XXXX, however, was caught red-handed at the scene of the crime. • 3. The alleged criminal was subjected to XXXX questioning by the authorities who were relentless in obtaining a confession. • 4. Even the chief of police XXXXed his officers for their harsh behavior during the questioning. • 5. The criminal’s attorney was able to get the charges dropped due to the XXXX violation of rights of his client.

  6. 6. The XXXX use of cell phones during class angered the teachers. • 7. XXXX students often mistakenly believe that they can text and listen during class. • 8. Using a cell phone during class is not only a violation of XXXX, but it is rude. • 9. Most intelligent people would XXXX that teens who text all the time are addicted. • 10. Students often think that they are texting XXXXly, but their behavior is obvious.
