Passion of welfare

The acupuncture(treatment with needles) facility was available

and the aboriginal(native) people were accumulating in the
ward. The situation was an accolade(praise, tribute, honor) for
the medical men of the firm and they didnt want to abnegate(
give up, renounce) their duties. A few aberrations(oddities)
were abstruse(puzzling, complex) and the patients that had
accrued(accumulate) there were steadily acclimating(adapting,
accomodating). All the diseased were acquiesced(allowed)
without any charges.

A hero

There is an adage(saying) that the acumen(wisdom) of a some

people is adamantine(stubborn). Its a mark of determination.
An adonis(handsome young man) with alacrity(enthusiasm),
afflatus(inspiration, creative impulse) and adroitness(skill) who
performs aerobics(warming-up, exercise) activities affects the
ambitious and allays(soothe,pacify) the agony of poor as he is
altruistic(kind, selfless). He ameliorates(improve) the
amenities(facilities) of his surroundings. He becomes an apple
of the eyes of both aerodynamic(flying) and
ambulatory(mobile,moving) world and every attractive
amazon(strong woman) wants to marry him.

I hate such adamancy

The akimbo(with hand on hips, bowed) actuary(accountant)
was addled(confused) by the admonition(warning). The
aspersions(criticism, unpleasant remarks) of the
balsphemous(insulting) barbaric(brutal) were brassy(loud,
shameless). The statistician had joined the company just a week
before but the arcane(abstruse, obscure) allegations of the
director were battering(hitting) against her harshly and her
anaphylactic(highly sensitive) heart began to pound. Her
attire(clothes) had become wet in the august(distinguished,
impressive) aura of the office. The anomie(social instability) of
the head was an anomaly(oddity) she had never confronted
before. She had blandished(flattered) him and even tried tried
to seduce the boss with her apocryphal(fake, fabricated)
enticing tone but he seemed to be an ascetic(abstainer,
dervish) and her efforts to bamboozle(cheat, deceive) him were
all vain. The idea of avid(keen, enthusiastic) bacchanal(gala,
merrymaking) of the job had turned into a horrible nightmare.

She was a goddess

The argosy(cargo ship) in the armada(group of ships, navy) was
slipping above the bayou(stream, channel). It contained
battery(collection, array) of baubles(ornaments). The
belated(late, delayed) departure of the ship was being
berated(criticized) by the astrologers but till then, the weather
seemed to be auspicious(promising, favorable). A few surfers
were showing their feats on the aquaplanes(water ski) in the
surrounding water. In the adjacent land, their was a
bloom(blossom, glow) of brambles(wild thorny bush). An
isolated and abandoned bistro(cafe,bar) on a berm(a raised
area of ground) was going through the stages of
atrophy(decline, decay) but yet looked magnificent. The
blaze(fire,burning) of Sun was balked(block, stop suddenly) by
the the fluffy fur of flowing clouds. The benign(gentle, kind
affectionate) beneficence(generosity) was showing itself in the
panoramic beauty of that place as cheers and chants could be
heard from one of the compartments of bifurcated(splitted,
halved) basement of the ship. The blathering(chatter, babble)
of plebeians was lively and enthusiastic. Mac was trying to
discern the aria(song, carol) that appeared to be sung at the
corner along the wall. That song was enthralling him so much
that he stood instinctively and walked towards the place. When
he reached there, his eyes met the blue eyes of a blonde
beauty. The optical connection was soon lost as the babe
engrossed herself again in the brio(spirit, zest) of the melody.
Her cardigan(jersey) was claret(dark red, scarlet) just like the
redness sprouting from the morning sun unveiling at the
horizon. The natural talent was amplified by the bravura(artistic
skill) she may have been practicing for years. A mob was
braying(neigh, yell, whinny) in the compartment but to Mac,
she was like a lighted lamp in the midst of darkness. Her
aesthetic perfection, spiritual allure and the corporal
magnetism made Mac unconscious of his own self and he
became a buoyant(able to float, happy) boy. She was so simple
and therefore utmost sophisticated. He tried to broach(
mention, talk about) but failed utterly as she neglected him
completely. Her indifference to him was like the indifference of
land people to the people moving in the
catacomb(underground tunnel) below. The caricature(funny
drawing) on the wall glistening in the light rays of
candelabrum(lamp, object having branches holding candles)
drawn otherwise to entertain people was mocking him then. He
approached her and bonked(hit lightly) on her shoulder but he
was beset(afflicted, plagued) by this act as she swiftly walked
away through the door in the other compartment of the
articulated(segmented,jointed) architectural design of
basement.
Zenith of art

The cartographer(map maker, topographer) was enjoying

burgeoning(flourishing) cachet(eminence). The
chiaroscuro(shaded, black and white) model of the cay(small
island, islet) was more artistic than the cameos(sculpture,
statue) made by the greatest artists. The model exhibiting
cambers(slight curve on road, twist) and the chicanes(sharp
double bend on road), the bonsai(indoor gardening) and the
botanical(relating to plants) beauty of the metropolitan island
developed by a mapmaker was indeed dumbfounding.
Batik(ornamental art, printing patterns on cloth using wax) was
the most adorable artwork in Pakifornia but it also seemed to
lose its value then. Even the centennial(relating to century)
stonework of the basilicas(large churches) deemed the most
glorious art in the world had faded in the intense glow of his
masterpiece. There was a behest(order, request) from the head
of the state requesting him to reach the Prizehouse to receive
one of the most prestigious reward of that time, the mark of
pride, honor, excellence and flawless fame, the Scarletgem
prize.!

When flirtation becomes phantom

The crass(stupid, mindless) teenager had faced a lot of
contumely(insult,humiliation) due to his unveiled
coquetry(flirtation). Whenever he came across any
comely(gorgeous) girl, he used to converse with her in a
clement(mild, pleasant) tone and a cordial(friendly) way.
Although a few people considered it to be a copacetic(perfect)
gesture depicted by a boy but most religious fundamentalists
and contemporary(modern) moralists believing in the highly
esteemed status of women contravened(oppose,defy) this
habit. Regardless of other people, he himself wasnt
complacent(self-satisfied, contented) with his flirty habits. His
conscience decried(criticized) his actions at times. He used to
think that its not manly to play with female emotions but in
spite of these aspersions(unpleasant remarks), he couldnt stop
himself and every corollary(consequence) of his actions usually
left him with contusion(injury).

*** THE KNIGHTS ***

The chimerical(mythical,imaginary,fabulous) chivalry(courage)

and chutzpah(boldness) of the classical(outstanding, excellent)
Knights roaming close(near) to the coast(beach) with the horses
galloping and taking coercive(forceful,violent) steps was really
flabbergasting. The coif(arrangement of hair) on the isolated
head of the princess which would have attracted so many a
people was looking horrible then. The comatose(unconscious,
sluggish) king was sliced to pieces and the knights hadnt
commiserated(to show sympathy) anyone. The compact(tight,
dense) treasurehouse had been plundered entirely. Whenever
the knights commuted(traveled to work), they progressed with
a concerted(collective) effort and condoned(overlook, forgive)
none. The conciliatory(pacifying, appeasing) steps taken by the
empire to discourage the knights had failed and the knights had
confounded(baffle, amazed) the powerful aristocrats by
confiscating(seize, take possession of) the state and the
contravening(opposing, violating) arrogant army was defeated
mercilessly. The blood had congealed(clot, become thick) on
the battleground and terror ruled the contiguous(adjacent)
territories. The cordiality(friendliness) and freemasonry among
the knights was extraordinary. After the triumph was
corroborated(confirmed, testified),the cloud nine(bliss ecstasy)
led to a bonfire. The coterie(set, in-crowd) of knights in the
bonfire presented a magnificent and glorious spectacle. They
discussed their covert(secret) plans for further attacks and
coveted(desired strongly) to exterminate other states. Even the
crenelated(strengthened, fortified) forts were easily accessible
to them as they knew the secret loopholes. They responded to
the cues(indication, sign) with alacrity(eagerness, activeness)
and therefore they always won. The defeated masses had to
cut and run(flee, escape). The people entrapped in cul-de-
sacs(street closed at one end) usually ended up in corpses

MCAT VOCAB PART 2:

BEAUTY OF DILIGENCE:
Alfred, the cynical(non believing, doubtful) dark horse(winner
who surprises everyone by winning) was residing in the
dacha(country house) in the remote dale(valley). A
dam(embarkment) was constructed to obstruct any kind of
water flooding. The cygnets(gosling, duckings) wandering near
the lake had added to the embellishment of the valley.
Defenestration(cast, fling, throw) was going on near the water
bank as native children were aiming stones at the farthest point
in the lake. His wife, a dappled(freckled) genius, was facing
debility(exhaustion, enervation) as they had hiked the whole
day. After dead heading(trim, thin out) the ornamental plants,
she went into the room and started decanting(tap, drain, pour
liquid) the lemon grass juice. Hello, whats up Mrs?, said
Alfred in a deferential(polite,courteous) tone as he entered the
room. Maintaining the decorum(propriety, courtesy), Liza said,
At your service sir! and they both smiled. Meanwhile, a flash
of memory swept pass her imagination. It was a cloudy
morning. A mob of people including delegates(representative,
agent) had gathered to enjoy the decathlon(athletic contest). It
was Alfreds debut(entrance, inauguration, first appearance).
He was an infamous plebian; people decried(criticized) him for
his low status and above all he had deferred(delayed, put off)
for the match. The relative demographics(statistics) implied
that he was surely gonna lose and deracinated(exterminate,
uprooted) by the winners in the earlier rounds, but he was a
diligent( assiduous, hardworking) and demure(modest, serious,
meek) guy and hated devious(dishonest, dubious, crafty)
attitude and had come with highly painful practice. She was
standing in the dexter(right) compartment of the elite pavilion,
a diptych( a painting on two panels, icon) in her rear wall, her
heart throbbing with diffidence (shyness, modesty) while
watching a common man participating in such a great event
with exuberant enthusiasm. When the match started, the
diorama(panorama, view) of the match was wonderful and it
reached a deuce(draw, tie breaking situation). Later, in the
extra time, as Alfred finally won, a gust of happiness
rejuvenated Lizas self. She didnt know why she was so happy

MUSIC; A MYSTIC ESCTASY:

The dulcet(melodious, sweet, soothing) song sung by the
diva(famous singer, opera singer, prima donna) was being
doted(admired, adored, loved) by the effervescent(excited,
enthusiastic, bubbly, zealous) crowd very much. The
downy(fluffy, soft, feather like) melodies and the droll(amusing,
comic, humorous) lyrics made the people dance and smile. It
was such a great feeling that the music had divulged(make
know, disclose, expose) their spirits unto themselves and their
souls began to divagate(wander, deviate, ramble) in ecstasy.

FROM HALLUCINATION TO HUMILIATION:

In the el dorado(fantasy, aspiration, promised land) she was

manipulating the duplicitous(deceptive, cheating, deceitful)
dunce(fool, idiot). She listened to the Edda(heroic poem, epic,
narrative, verses, ballad) while doing these heroic deeds. The
delusive(ambiguous, baffling, difficult to define) feeling was
ecstatic but was all in the emblazoned(decorated, adorned,
embellished) imagination. She was in a state of self-
encomium(praise, accolade, commendation)
encumbering(obstruct, impede) the vice of the world when
suddenly, a blast boomed. The slap of her mother made the
embossed(imprint, carve, inscribe) dreaming an
evanescent(fading, disappearing, vanishing) perception. The el
dorado turned into an ennui(boredom, weariness, frustration).

RULE OF LAW, NO! RULE OF LAWER:

Jim was trying to equivocate(avoid issue, escape, beat about

the bush) and eschew(abstain, shun) that evasive(vague,
elusive, ambiguous) issue but the evocative(suggestive,
expressive, reminiscent) lawyer was trying to excavate(uncover,
dig up, burrow) the details and to Jim, this was making him rigid
and execrable(hateful, dreadful, disgusting) creature. That
lawyer was gonna exonerate(discharge, liberate) the felon and
Jim knew that it would be impossible to recapture the criminal
as the exhortation(warning, admonition, threat, motivation)
wouldnt allow the truth to do so. The truth had lost its
equipoise(balance, equilibrium) and it was beginning to fear.
THE DERVISH LIFESTYLE:

The fakir(ascetic, monk) had recently been extricated(released,

freed) from the prison. He had absorbed all the
extrinsic(external, outside) negative effects in the prison
without letting them change his self. His hadnt a
facile(superficial, effortless) faith, rather it was a fait
accompli(accomplished fact, certainty) in his heart. The fascia(
connective tissue, instrument panel) beneath his skin thought
of God all the time. His fateful( significant, critical, important)
conversion to Sufism occurred when he became disciple of a
renowned Sufi. He found Sufism a highly feasible(practical,
suitable) path. He hated fawning(flattering, unctuous,
sycophantic, servile) attitude. He negated the concept of
feckless (useless, worthless) life as he believed that the
ultimate purpose of life was to achieve the favor of God. He
enjoyed felicity (happiness, joy, delight) in the feral(wild,
untamed, ferocious) love of God. For him, every day was a
fiesta(festival, carnival, celebration). Intuitive figments
(invention, idea, thought) revealed on his self and he applied
them wonderfully. He never finagled( deceive, swindle, cheat)
nor did he flaunt (show off, display, boast). His pure soul was
like a florid(embellished, flowery, rosy) rose adorned with a
filigree(lacework, tracery, decoration) though he wasnt a fop(
beau, dandy, a man concerned about his appearance,
coxcomb). He remained clean and never wore frowsy (untidy,
messy, disheveled) clothes. He had forsweared(abandon,
reject, deny) all false beliefs and his inspirational self
galvanized( stimulate, motivate, excite) the masses.
A DUMB DATE:

The galoot(an ugly, clumsy man) had found a

flibbertigibbet(fool, idiot, irresponsible) girlfriend. They had
met recently and it was such a natural match. The boy though
ugly had a gaudy(showy, tasteless) attitude but he
gesticulated(gestured, signaled) in a way that made him really
attractive. They were sitting in a train moving on a
funicular(cable railway) that was ascending on a
geodesic(geographic, relating to shortest possible line)
pathway. There were green (grassy, leafy) grapevines(vine,
climber, c4reeper) in the surrounding of the track. The
garnish(decoration, embellishment, adornment) in the interior
of the train was awesome as curtains were gilded(paint gold)
and the tables were glazed(paint, gloss, enamel) wonderfully.
They were involved in a glib(smooth, facile, slick, artfully
persuasive) chat. The gambit(plan, scheme, trick) of each of
them was to inspire the other.
BEWARE!!.. POLITICS CONTROL YOU:

The turmoil of the herculean(strong, arduous, muscular,

powerful) hawks(aggressor, jingoist, militarist) in the
gridlock(traffic jam, blockage, stoppage) and hammer and
tongs(hit, strike, fight with energy) was beginning to
hone(sharpen, edge, grind) its zeal and the struggle of security
force to hector(threaten, bully, intimidate) and
immobilize(inactivate) the mob was becoming insufficient. He
stood there in the halcyon(happy, calm, blissful) aura above
with a wicked (abominable) smile on his face and elegant
habiliments(clothing, garment, consume) on his body having a
bird eye view of the hue and cry(clamor, protest, noise) of
heterogeneous(diverse, miscellaneous, mixed) idealists. The
tumultuous mob was never gonna hem and haw(delay,
procrastinate) the protest, let alone have a hiatus(pause, break,
interval, lacuna). Illicit(illegal, forbidden, prohibited,
illegitimate) activities and infraction(violation, infringement,
breach) had escalated those days and a number of people were
immolating(sacrifice, kill, surrender) to overthrow the elite
throne. The impetuous(impulsive, forceful, violent, rash)
impetus(stimulation, motivation, power) was a reaction to the
implacable(inflexible, cruel, heartless) corruption of the
government and the masses had started to impinge(affect,
encroach, influence) the authorities. At fist, the people had
impugned(challenge, call into question, dispute) the
government policies and importuned(demand, harass, beg,
implore) the government to give up the corrupt actions but lack
of positive response from the government successively had led
to this impregnable(strong, fortified, invincible)
incentive(motivation, stimulus). Now there were words of
imprecation(curse) on everybodys tongue.
Inertia(motionlessness) of government was referred to as
inanity(silliness, stupidity, brainlessness) but the man standing
at the zenith thought otherwise. There was an
infallible(guaranteed, flawless, perfect) glow in his
incisive(intelligent, sharp, bright) eyes. The time to replace the
old mask with a new one worth worshiping had come. The
seemingly intransient(uncompromising, adamant, resolute)
people were so easy to fool. The irrefutable(beyond question)
track record of the new government would blind them so
easily. These thoughts embellished his face with a smile.
MCAT VOCAB PART 3

CAREFREE EXTRAVAGANCE:

This isnt innocuous(harmless, safe, mild). The

inordinate(excessive, unreasonable, extravagant) expenditures
will lead us to ineradicable(confirmed, established, long-lasting)
poverty and our family will become an indigent(poor, destitute,
needy) crap, she said almost crying. Now he had come up with
a itinerant(traveling, wandering, roaming) idea and their life
long savings were in jeopardy(danger, risk, hazard). Hearing the
jeremiad(long sad complaint, harangue) of his wife, Jack
responded aggressively. He had been acting impulsive for a few
days and no one in that house knew the cause of that behavior
Now he was not gonna let her kibitz(attack, condemn, criticize)
his kerfuffle(fuss, commotion unnecessary excitement) again.
He said that with his eyes.

THAT ATTITUDE! THAT PROTOCOL!

He was the kahuna(important person, chief, head) as he had a

great ken(knowledge) about the subject. He was walking on the
road with a junta(a group o military officers, fraction) and the
cars were juxtaposed( placed side by side) along the sides of
the road. He was gonna take a trip of the juncture( particular
point). It was a necessary but harmful job but his jocund(jolly,
glad) and jocular(humorous, funny, witty) spirit was smiling
with fearlessness. He was an enthusiastic journeyman(learner,
apprentice, novice). A great number of people form all over the
world joisted(support, beam, pillar) him. Moreover he \was
endued with jaded(satiated, satisfied, exhausted)
jingoism(extreme patriotism, nationalism, chauvinism); a
person who was in constant joust (combat, contest, battle
against ignorance and hatred. Therefore, his soul jigged( jump,
hop, dance) every moment.
THE MENTOR

The mentor living on the mesa(plateau, plain, highland) had a

meritorious(praiseworthy, excellent) repute. Neither did he
militate(prevent, hinder, hamper) his disciples nor he had any
minatory(threatening, menacing) ways to teach them. He
wasnt a misanthrope (cynic, doubter, hater of mankind). He
believed in the intrinsic mirth(merriment, gaiety, cheerfulness)
of mankind and used to mitigate(alleviate, diminish, weaken)
hatred among people. The monolithic(massive, huge, vast) mob
of the disciples was like a montage(collage, mosaic, jigsaw); the
persons when amalgamated reflected colors of artistic beauty
of well-being.

RELIGION; A WONDERFUL MANIPULATING TOOL:

There was a quite evident lampoon(satire, mockery, burlesque)

in the largess(generosity, bounty, beneficence) of the
laity(believers, all members of the church, congregation). Many
rich lapidaries(jewelers, engravers) of the church apparently
being magnanimous(generous, beneficent) and providing
lee(shelter, refuge, safety, protection) to the homeless were
actually investing to strengthen their dogma and enhance their
power. Liturgies(worship, ceremony, service, ritual) of the
masses aimed to win favor of God were actually winning the
favor of Church; the steadily growing power. The
lodestar(canon, guiding star, principle) of the bishops was to
manipulate the people through religious control.

A MEMENTO MATERIALIZED:

The lissome(thin, attractive, agile, lithe) lulu(outstanding

woman, peach, stunner) knitting in the factory took a
laconic(concise, pithy, quiet, buried) lacunae(pause, gap,
interval) from the macrame(lace, knitting, weaving) when the
manicured(neat, tidy, spick and span, trim) officer came there
with a magnum(large wine bottle, container). The roof of the
factory was a mansard(a roof with double slope, gambrel, roof)
when observed from outside but it was a horizontal plane when
eyed upwards inside. The gap between plane and slope was a
region where an elegant residing place had been established.
There was her dwelling. She wasnt a menial(unskilled, lowly,
dull) worker and for the officer, her beauty was a
memento)souvenir, reminder) of his deceased wife. She was a
melange(mixture, collection, blend) and medley(assortment,
collection, mixture) of everything he wanted and he was there
to take her to bed.
WHEN THE SKILL FAILS:

There were motley(miscellaneous, mixed, varied)

montages(mosaic, collage, combination, jigsaw) based on
different motifs(design, theme, decoration, idea) displayed in
exhibition. Modish(fashionable, stylish, modern) Sarah was
moseying (amble, saunter, ramble) in the gallery viewing the
moot(debatable, questionable, disputed) paintings and sketch
works. While she was dumbstruck by a mordant(critical,
caustic, ironic, sinister) sketch, a bell rang through the
corridors. It was a call for moratorium(suspension of activity,
stoppage). Already in morass(bog, confusion, quagmire, marsh)
about the sketch, she had to go with a big question mark in her
mind. May be it was another, a bit greater mumbo-jumbo(non-
sense, claptrap, rubbish) in the murky(dark , gloomy, muddy)
pond of confusing drawings. She was a great critic of art but
that day even extensive musing(ponder, consider, influence)
couldnt help her discern the myriad(countless) paintings. There
was nary(not a single) painting she had understood with utmost
satisfaction. She was feeling the nadir(lowest point) of her
intellect and this was very disturbing.
PARAGON OF PERFIDY:

The mountebank(quack, imposter, charlatan)

mulcted(deceived, cheated) very easily because he had secured
his niche(ideal position, cavity, function) as an accountant with
excessive bribery and countless recommendations. He had
nexus(connection, tie attachment) with very wealthy aristocrats
throughout the country and now he was there enjoying an
optimum(best, perfect) position to loot. That was one of the
biggest hospitals of the country which remained
obstreperous(noisy, unruly, loud) with thousands of patients
and nuclear families(extensive families). He used to sit there in
his office wearing an onyx(black) jacket and a classical obi(belt)
doing his job; corrupt accountancy. A few people came there
with obsequious(unctuous, sycophantic, flattering)
obeisance(bow, respect, honor) to win his favor but he wasnt
an obtuse(foolish, stupid) person and judged everyone on the
basis of his status and intellect. Though corruption is an
onerous(tough, burdensome, strenuous) job, but it is much
interesting and rewards better. As a hobby he did
origami(paper modelling). This was better than doing
otiose(useless, futile)_ daydreaming. His over drafts(debt,
deficit) were decreasing day by day and soon he was gonna be
a rich bitch. There was no oxymoron(contradiction, paradox,
anomaly) his actions and saying. He had learned to life
aesthetically. Usually, he avoided paddy(angry state, temper,
rage) but when infuriated, he behaved like a feral lion. He only
ate foodstuff palatable(tasty, acceptable, delicious) to his taste
buds. During the pandemic(widespread, epidemic, prevalent)
palaver(fuss, confusion) of people in any hazardous seasonal
disease, his gaiety increased multiple folds. He wasnt a paper
tiger(weak person, hollow man, straw man). Rather, he was a
paragon(ideal example) of perfidy(treachery, duplicity, deceit).
DONT LEAVE ME DEAR!

The parlous(unsafe, dangerous attack) paroxysm(spasm, fit,

convulsion) was paring(reduce, remove, lessen) but the
pathos(sadness,tragedy) inflicted to him by the loss of his
girlfriend was ever increasing. Variety of patisseries(fruit cakes)
were brought there to enliven him but he was engrossed in his
peerless(matchless, incomparable, unique) girlfriend. She was
the most non0perfidious(non-cunning, non0treacherous, loyal)
person he had ever met. Her love had permeated(soaked
through, diffuse, filter) him and caused a perfect positive
permutation(change, variation, alteration in his character but
now, there he was, questioning: what was my peccadillo(small
fault, lapse, misdemeanor)?
WHEN THERE IS A RELIGION THERE IS A HOPE:

The persnickety(fastidious, careful, choosy) and

perspicacious(wise, sagacious) prelate (bishop, parson, priest)
standing beside the pilaster(pillar, column, support) was
encouraging the phalanx(mass, multitude, legion) of people
with a quite phlegmatic(cool, calm, unemotional) attitude. The
acts of his piety(devotion, religiousness, holiness) had masked
his picayune(meager, trivial) sins and he was there,
placating(sooth, calm) the masses with his divine voice. The
porcinely(hoggish, piggish) plague and the placebos(fake drugs)
had distressed the people completely and the priest was trying
to instill in them a platonic(spiritual, non-sexual, non-physical)
spirit so that the plethora(excess, surfeit) of agony might be
alleviated. He was portraying(displaying, exhibiting) the
intrinsic goodness of Christianity and postulating(putting
forward) the ways to overcome the suffering. His
peroration(speech, harangue, lecture, ending) was a
potpourri(mixture, collection) of love kindness and belief and
the precis(summary, abridgement) of his address was the
remembrance of Jesus Christs suffering for the humankind.

MCAT VOCAB PART 4

From wrenches to riches- He's the man!
The gentleman wearing the suit and holding the
portmanteau(suitcase, bag, luggage) in the prize distribution
pomp(ceremony, splendor, show) was a prolific(productive,
bountiful, inventive) prig(moralist, puritan, prude) and a
provident(careful, wise, judicious) proponent(advocate,
supporter, promoter) of social welfare. He had
procured(acquired, got) a prowess(skill, courage, expertise) in
helping the poor and needy by launching quintessential(typical,
ideal, exemplary) schemes and managing prodigious(huge,
colossal) welfare institutes throughout the country. He had
faced a lot of quagmires(difficulties, troubles, confusions) and
privations(hardships, deprivations). The envious people had
tried to prelude(prevent, stop, prohibit) his humanely vision
and relegate(downgrade, put down) his spirits but he was
determined and had never felt premonition(forboding,
suspicion, feel bad) about his job. Many a time, he had to
confront a queasy (unwell, nauseous) temperament but
querulous(complaining, petulant, peevish) words never
touched his tongue. Now, he was standing in a queue(line)
amidst the quorum(meeting, assembly, gathering) of the
rambunctious(loud, noisy, boisterous) and appreciating elites
with radiant(luminous, glowing, beaming) eyes and a
reactionary(conventional, rightest) smile and his
rakish(immoral, wicked, dissolute, jaunty) and
rapacious(greedy, covetous, avaricious) rivals turned red-hot as
they heard the speaker recapitulate(summarize, epitomize,
sum up) his achievements.
Catch him if you can!
His reclusive(unsociable, solitary, isolated) and cunning attitude
was dangerous for the reciprocal(mutual, shared, requited)
reclamation(safety, protection, restoration) of the company
and it needed to be reconnoitered(examined, investigated,
explored) and rectified(corrected, amended, settled). He
created indirectly a red herring(misleading clue, disturbance,
fuss, commotion) that relegated(downgrade, degrade) the
members in different ways. Apparently, he was trying to
renovate(modernize, restore, update) ad resuscitate(revive,
bring to life, restore) the company but the intrinsic purpose of
his actions was filled with selfishness. Many a time he had to
renege(go back on ones words, retreat from) and use witty
remarks to mask his true intentions. Although most of the
company members were roiled(irritated, annoyed, vexed) by
him but still he was different. His physique was robust(strong,
vigorous sturdy), his personality was charismatic and he always
had rosters(agendas, schedules, registers) ad rope-a-
dopes(strategy, scheme, boxing tactics). These attributes had
made the ruddy(rosy, healthy, glowing, fresh) manager fall in
love with him and this fact had retrenched(save, conserve,
economized) his position in the company.
I wanna be like her ^_^
Beyond the sierra(steep mountain, highland), the
sanguine(hopeful, optimistic, buoyant, positive) veteran
overflowing with sagacity(wisdom, knowledge) sitting in the
sampan(small boat, vessel, craft, ship with a sampler(piece of
embroidery, tapestry, embellishment) in her hands and a
sarong(loincloth, skirt, lungi, dhoti) around her body was doing
needle work. She was embodiment of sanctity(holiness, piety,
goodness). People usually exhibit scruple(hesitation,
uneasiness) in doing good deeds but she was a born pious. She
hadnt attended seminaries(monastery, school for priest
training) or Seders(Jewish feasts, supper, dinner). She was a
free woman. Goodness was her nature as she had never been a
sandbagger(cunning, guile, cheater) in her whole life. She
satiated(disgust, satisfy, fill) none. She wasnt a
sceptic(doubter, pessimist, cynic). She had an unwavering
belief, limitless love and boundless knowledge. During work,
she never scuttled(rush, dash, heavy, destroy, impede) because
she always remained in a state of peace. Nothing physical or
spiritual could sear(burn, hurt, wound,pain) her sedate(placid,
relaxed, quiet, steady) self. Now she had reached a
senescent(aged, dying, senile, declining) period of her life but
her life history confirmed that serendipity(happy chance, good
luck, fluke) was her kismet(fate, fortune, destiny). As the nature
tried her repeatedly, so did it rewarded her seriatim(come after
other, in turn, respectively). Surely she was a God sent
shaman(religious specialist, healer, kahuna). She was enviable!
A MESSY DEALING!
She sidled(sneak, slip, slide, creep, sink) beneath the semi-
transparent covers to take siesta(afternoon sleep, nap, rest,
doze). She was about to sleep when she felt a
silhouette(outline, shadow, shape, figure) of someone. She
opened her eyes and uncovered herself to see. A handsome
young man was standing there. She was doing a sinecure(paid
job requiring little work, easy thing) in that spa(holiday resort,
hotel) so she had to get up. The man eyed her cravingly. There
was a snide(hateful, disparaging, insulting) glisten in her eyes
and a skittish(nervous, confused, lively) scowl on her face.
Abruptly, she threw a glass forcefully which turned
smithereens(broken pieces, fragments, splinters, chips). She
roared in a stentorian(loud, thundering, splinters, chips) tone,
Why the fuck are you here? thats my sleeping time. The
customer was taken aback by her specter(ghost, threat spirit,
menace) but replied softly, I really need that now. Im here for
a short sojourn(stay, visit, stop). Why the hell dont you take
a smorgasbord(self0servce, meal, buffet), fill yourself up and let
me sleep a bit. I aint gonna skew(alter distort, warp) my
routine for anyone. she said. I aint gonna squander(waste,
misspend, misuse) my time here. I aint a spurious(fake, bogus,
fake, sham) mediocre, Ive filthy money and I aint doing any
specious(misleading, reasonable, false, deceptive) conversation
here and I dont want to hear sisyphean(useless, futile,
pointless) words anymore. he replied getting angry. Although
the situation was looking sticky(difficult, situation, plight,
predicament) but the offer of excessive money woke her up
and she force a stilted(artificial, unnatural, affected, false)
smile. I want you to make love for about half an hour with
stoicism(patience, forbearance). I want you to make it in your
sui generis(unique, distinctive, special, individual) manner. I
dont want superficial(shallow, hasty, external, artificial)
attitude and if you stipulate(promise, give guarantee, lay down)
what Ive stipulated(specified), Ill give you superfluous(extra,
excess, unnecessary) money. I dont want you to
succumb(surrender, yield, give in) to sleeping or do any
surrealism(argument, fantasy, imagination) here. Do you
understand my stratagem(pan ,trick, scheme, tactic)? Are you
ready to do what Ive asked for? Yes or NO? Till then she was
widely awake. She stood up and swiveled(rotate, turn) in a
surrealistic(fanciful, ideal, classic, romantic) way allowing her
surplice(wide, loose, clothing, gown, cassock) to slip down her
tactile(touchable, material, physical) body. Her undergarments
were exposed. She wasnt wearing tchotchkes(cheap jewellery,
trinket, baubles), rather she tasseled(decorate, inlay, inset,
stud) expensive and elegant jewellery. There was a tinge(color
of redness in her undergarments. The colorful tattoos,
gorgeous necklace and glistening ring, all were
totemic(symbolic representative, illustrative) totem(sign,
emblem, token) of attractiveness of womanliness. He rushed
like a titan(giant, colossus, monster, mammoth) towards her He
had transcended(top, go beyond, surpass, exceed) in his lust
but she was standing there in a triacly(overlay, sweet,
emotional) manner. The trepidation(anxiety, worry, fear) was
gonna end an tussle(fight, scuffle, brawl) was gonna start. The
torpid(inactive, sluggish, idle) air vanished as the hearts began
to undulate(rise and fall, swell, oscillate) rapidly and the
trundling(move heavely, rotate, twirl) of hearts was the only
thing that could be heard in that unmitigated(absolute,
complete) silence...
