Opportunities
Make a list of thesaurus-rich adjectives for each letter of
the alphabet and include a one-word definition.

Example:
A: agrestic- country
B: bedlamite- insane
C: congenial- friendly
And so on until the letter Z: zealous

Your adjectives must be at least 6 letters long. Make sure


the words you choose are adjectives, not nouns or verbs. In
a thesaurus, the word listing will say what part of speech
the word is. Make sure the word you want says “adjective”
next to it. Please type or neatly hand-print your list.
