| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| wistfully | longingly, Mike followed, talking about an upcoming trip to the beach. He lingered by my desk till the bell rang. Then he smiled at me wistfully and went to sit by a girl with braces and a bad perm. |
| diplomacy | dealing with people in a sensitive way, In a town like this, where everyone lived on top of everyone else, diplomacy was essential. |
| tactful | careful not to offend others, I had never been enormously tactful; I had no practice dealing with overly friendly boys. |
| egotistical | self-centered, It was ridiculous, and egotistical, to think that I could affect anyone that strongly. |
| evaded | avoided, I hurried from the girls' locker room, pleased to find that I had successfully evaded my retriever friend for the moment. |
| subtly | slightly, Now that I looked, it was obvious that they were all dressed exceptionally well; simply, but in clothes that subtly hinted at designer origins. |
| warily | cautiously, "What's for dinner?" he asked warily. My mother was an imaginative cook, and her experiments weren't always edible. |
| lumbered | walked in a slow manner, He seemed to feel awkward standing in the kitchen doing nothing; he lumbered into the living room to watch TV while I worked. |
| complimentary | giving compliments, They're all very attractive," I added, trying to be more complimentary. |
| suppress | restrain, I tried not to think about him, but I couldn't totally suppress the worry that I was responsible for his continued absence, ridiculous as it seemed. |
| animatedly | energetically, "That's what I thought." His voice, amazingly, sounded like he was suppressing laughter. |
| saturated | completely soaked, She was safe. "Yes," I answered, my voice saturated with relief. |
| disheveled | messy, His hair was dripping wet, disheveled â even so, he looked like he'd just finished shooting a commercial for hair gel. |
| scrawl | messy writing, I would have written it while he looked, but his clear, elegant script intimidated me. I didn't want to spoil the page with my clumsy scrawl. |
| inexplicable | not explainable, I glanced up, and he was staring at me, that same inexplicable look of frustration in his eyes. |
| auburn | reddish-brown, I vividly remembered the flat black color of his eyes the last time he'd glared at me â the color was striking against the background of his pale skin and his auburn hair. |
