so you're notified every time I post a new  lesson. Now let's dive in with this lesson.  

Today, let's test your knowledge of advanced  English vocabulary. So here's how the test  

is going to work. You're going to see a sentence  and there's going to be a blank, a missing word,  

and then you're going to be  given two options, option A,  

option B. And then you have to decide  which option completes the sentence.  

Now when I give you the options, I'll give you  three seconds. Of course that isn't very long,  

right? So feel free to hit pause, take as much  time as you need and then hit play when you're  

ready to see the answer. Sound good? Are you ready  to start the quiz? Let's go with question number  

one. Do you think the discount will the client  which option A or B I'll give you three seconds.  

appease the client appease is a verb  we use this when you want to give  

someone something they want in order to  make them happy or in order to prevent  

further disagreement. So I'm giving them a  discount to make them happy it will appease. Now,  

if you said be appeal, keep in mind that appeal  has a very similar meaning it means to be  

attractive to but grammatically the sentence is  incorrect. Because if you use appeal its appeal to  

the client. And because I don't have  the preposition TO BE is an incorrect  

option grammatically. Question two. She's  a very employee, option one, option two.  

The correct answer is a diligent  she's a very diligent employee. To be  

diligent. This means to be careful or using a lot  of efforts and attention to detail. For example,  

I worked diligently on the report all week. So  notice in this case, it's an adverb diligently. I  

worked diligently on the report all week. Question  three. Sorry, I can't help I'm at math. A or B.  

B in that I'm inept at math to be in that ad  something this means to not be skilled or to be  

any effective at something I'm in at math. Number  four. She's the most member of our team. A or B.  

A gregarious, B is incorrect. Grammatically,  we can say most great, you would say greatest  

right? So grammatically, B doesn't work. A  gregarious to be gregarious. When someone  

is described as gregarious. It means that they're  very social. They enjoy being around other people.  

So what about you? Let us know in the comments  would you describe yourself as a gregarious  

person? Do you enjoy being around other people?  Are you very social? Let us know in the comments  

so you can practice that word. Number five, we  need to with the accounting department, A or B.  

The answer is B. Follow up with grammatically A  

is incorrect. You don't follow out  with someone you follow up with someone  

and then it means that you continue a discussion  or conversation that was previously started.  

I could say I already followed up with the  accounting department. I already continue the  

conversation we have previously started number  six. That's a difficult concept to A or B.  

B to grass. When you grasp something, it  simply means that you understand it. So  

it's a famous thing. That's a difficult concept to  understand. That's a difficult concept to grasp.  

Number seven, you should all your debt  to reduce your interest rate A or B.  

B consolidate, consolidate when you consolidate  two or more things. It means you combine them  

together. So if I said the two firms consolidate  it last year, this means that last year there  

was firm A for me, but now because they  consolidated there's one firm so the two become  

one consolidate. Number eight. The book discusses  his illness and resignation from politics a or be  

a subsequent his subsequent resignation from  politics. This one was simple meaning subsequent  

just means something that comes out after  something else. So first he had his illness,  

and after he resigned his subsequent resignation,  his resignation that came after his illness. We  

commonly use this as an adverb to start a sentence  so I can say he moved to Australia. Subsequently,  

he got married, and I'm using subsequently  to let you know that he got married  

after something else, and that's something else is  after he moved to Australia. He moved to Australia  

subsequently he got married. Number nine,  he got stressed out when he sees a or b.  

The correct answer has to be B. Under pressure  because over pressure is a wrong preposition.  

The preposition you need is under pressure to  be under pressure. And that's simply when you  

have a lot of work. And you're feeling  overwhelmed. You're feeling anxious,  

you're feeling stressed out. You can use this  positively and say I work really well under  

pressure. So when I have a lot of work,  I actually perform better not worse.  

I work really well under pressure. Number 10.  Women face a lot of in the workplace, A or B.  

Well, ostrich is a bird.  

So women don't face a lot of ostriches in  the workplace. They face a lot of obstacles,  

obstacles. An obstacle is something that blocks  you and it can be something physical, like  

a roadblock or it can be something non physical,  like discrimination. So it's something that blocks  

you from making progress. That's an obstacle.  Number 11. Thank you for your remark A or B.  

The answer is B, pertinent, pertinent remark, when  something is pertinent. It means it's relevant  

to the topic or discussion at hand. So let's say  you're having a conversation and then someone  

raises a point. And you think the point is very  relevant to the topic or conversation, you can say  

that pertinent that's pertinent that's relevant  related to our topic at hand number 12. You can  

that to the interns, A or B.  

Be delegate you can delegate that to the intern.  When you delegate something is when you give  

someone else responsibility for a task. Or a  specific job. So when you're doing a task that  

you really don't want to be doing, you can say I  wish I had someone to delegate this to I wish I  

had someone who I could give this task to number  13. I have a really workload this month, A or B.  

A heavy B is a direct translation. It's not  something that we use in natural English. It  

sounds awkward and unnatural. A heavy is  an adjective that we use to describe our  

workload. When your workload is heavy. It  simply means you have a lot of work to do  

and what the opposite of heavy,  the opposite is light, right  

light. So when you don't have a lot of work  to do, you would say I have a light workload,  

heavy workload, light workload. So what about  you, how would you describe your workload right  

now? Would you say it's heavy or light? Let us  know in the comments while you practice this new  

expression. Number 14. The police have been  unable to what caused the explosion A or B?  

B be ascertain. ascertain. When you ascertain  something you discover something. So to ascertain  

the cause of the explosion is to discover the  cause of the explosion to understand why. So  

when the police do understand why they discover  it, they can say we've finally ascertained what  

caused the explosion. It was a faulty gas line and  then they can tell you the cause of the explosion.  

And finally, your last question in the quiz number  15. You been all week just do it already. A or B?  

The answer is B procrastinating  you've been procrastinating all week.  

When you procrastinate. It means that you delay  doing something but not something has to be done  

and you delay doing it and why? Well generally  because it's unpleasant. Like chores around the  

house, cleaning the garage, cleaning the bathroom,  doing the dishes, it's unpleasant, or it's simply  

boring, like organizing your closet or filing  your paperwork. So you delay doing it but  

it has to be done. That's procrastinating. So  how'd you do on the quiz? Was it easy for you?  

Was it difficult for you? Either way, you've just  added 15 new words to your vocabulary. So have fun
