Vocab Lesson 26

Okay guys, so this is the FIRST vocab of Term 4 -- PLEASE get this done and hand it in ON TIME and COMPLETED. Remember, if you hand in your Vocab Lesson and Reading Record on time and completed, you will most likely start out Term 4 with an A in my class. That sounds good to me!

Here are the words:
1. perilous - if you can't find this in your dictionary, look under "peril." It means the same thing, only perilous is the adjective version of the word. (Instead of danger, it's dangerous).
2. stamina
3. accumulate
4. benevolent
5. malevolent (Benevolent and malevolent are opposites of each other).
6. excessive - adjective - exceeding a normal, usual, reasonable, or proper limit. For example: Many people choose not to read Lord of the Rings because the author J.R.R. Tolkien uses excessive descriptions.
7. discern - verb - to distinguish, recognize, or figure out. Example: Because Henry kept on staring at her, Brittany did discern that Henry liked her.
8. reconcile - verb - to settle, to bring into harmony. For example: The sisters agreed to reconcile their differences.
9. guest
10. guessed
