  1. Got 8 out of ten. Not too shabby. Especially since two of the words (menagerie and beaucoup) are French words with the accent missing on the first e of menagerie. I should know as I am French Canadian first. I realize that menagerie is also used in English but it is the same spelling ( except for the missing accent) in French. BTW interesting quiz…

    • No, they are right. Check them from Meriam-Webster online dictionary. Next time PM me so that I could make necessary correction. It’s too embarrassing here. It reflects that my word quiz is not reliable.

      For your info, agonistic has other meaning which is related to defensive social interaction. Thus it is argumentative. While slumgullion is a meat stew.
