Old-school cassette tapes and the SAT Vocab Vault!
|
Reader! So, turns out my emails have been going straight to spam. I finally realized this, so, to celebrate the fixing of this glitch and my eventual triumph over technology, I am reverting to a discussion of old-school cassette tapes. Also, I am throwing one doozy of an SAT vocab question at you! Give it a shot: Exploiting: Taking advantage of something (a situation, resource, or person), often in a selfish or unfair way. The toddler kept exploiting her dad’s soft heart by asking for “just one more story”… five times in a row. Monetizing: Turning something (a skill, idea, or activity) into a way to make money.

Engendered: Caused or produced; brought something into existence (like feelings, ideas, or situations). -Kate, your SAT teammate PS - The answer is D. engendering. Tough one, right? |
