  • "You haven't really driven until you've driven the new Citron Bogus."
  • "Firstly, the recipient is warned that their PalPay account is about to expire, and sent to a bogus webpage where they are asked to enter their account details, address, and even their social security number."
  • "The "Bogus": it gets you where you need to go, and nothing else!"
  • "Test drive the new "Bogus", and explore the extreme limits of the driving experience!"
  • "Enter a new golden age of transportation with the Bogus from Citron."
  • "The new "Bogus" from Citron: it will get you from here to there, and that's not bad!"
Exercise 1
A bogus webpage can also be described as:
A bogus webpage can also be described as: fake
fake: This is the right answer. A "bogus (name)" is "fake", "false", or "made-up". A "bogus webpage" is pretending to be something which it is not. Here's another example: "I gave the police a bogus name when they tried to arrest me. I'm a genius".
illegal: This is not the best choice here. Although the website described in the article was made to perform "illegal" activities, the term "bogus" does not share a close meaning with "illegal" or "against the law".
pornographic: This is not the best choice here. "Pornographic" websites display images and videos of a sexual nature. This does not share a similar meaning with "bogus".
broken: This is not the best choice here. If something is "broken", it doesn't work. This does not share a similar meaning with "bogus".
