1 powerless: A "powerless (person)" has no legal authority to act, or in a more general sense, has no capacity to act or produce an effect (lacking power). Examples: "Modern medicine is virtually powerless against cancer", "The contract left the tenant powerless to fight against eviction". In this conversation, Bruno describes the Dulce and Carpaccio families as legally "powerless" to fight against Sylvio Mazerati's takeover. Note that the suffix "-less" often follows nouns to describe the sense of diminishment, absence or reduction: hopeless (without hope), homeless (without a home), humorless (without humor), etc.
2 powerful: The term "powerful" describes somebody or something with strength, ability, or authority. Examples: In the 18th century, Great Britain was one of the most powerful nations in the world, OR Mupert Rudock is a powerful media mogul. This term wasn't used in the conversation, but it is closely related to the term "powerless" used by Bruno to describe the Dulce and Carpaccio families. Note that the suffix "-ful" often follows nouns to express the sense of "fullness" or "having a quality": hopeful (full of hope), tactful (full of tact), meaningful (full of meaning).

Susie: You will smell 7unbelievably 8 pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-

1 tough: In this context, to be "tough" is to be mentally or physically strong (often with the capability of being violent). Example: He plays a TOUGH guy in the new movie. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are strong (or masculine) enough to wear TigerLily, which is a perfume intended for women. Note, in a different context, "tough" can mean "difficult". Example: That was a TOUGH exam.
2 enough: "Enough" is a synonym of "sufficient", "as much as necessary" and "adequate". Example: He's good ENOUGH at football to play for the national team. In the song, Susie is asking men if they are sufficiently "tough" to wear a feminine fragrance. Note: as demonstrated in the song, "enough" rhymes with "tough" and "stuff"!
3 wear: To wear something is to have something on your body, usually as a piece of clothing, but it can also apply to perfumes and fragrances. Example: I only WEAR perfume on days that I don't shower.
4 stuff: The term "stuff" can be used to refer to a substance when you do not know the name, when the name is not important or when it is obvious what you are talking about. Example: I'm sorry, but I think there's some brown STUFF on your shoes. In the song, Susie describes TigerLily as "girly stuff" because it is obvious that she is talking about TigerLily. If something is "girly", it is associated with females.
5 Put: "To put something" on (a part of your body) means to wear or "place" something on (a part of your body). Example: My girlfriend sometimes PUTS a bag ON my head because I am very ugly. In the song, Susie tells men to put it (=TigerLily) on their skin.
6 skin: "Skin" is the layer of tissue that covers and protects the body. Example: Every night I use moisturizing cream to make my SKIN soft.
7 smell: If you smell of (cigarettes), your body gives off an odor of (cigarettes). Example: I know you've been drinking - you SMELL of whisky!
8 unbelievably: The term "unbelievably" means "incredibly", "impossibly", or "improbably"; it is informally used to emphasize how good (or bad) something is. Example: The food at the restaurant was UNBELIEVABLY good (=very good). In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell unbelievably (or incredibly) powerful!
9 Powerful: To be "powerful" is to have great strength or force; "Powerful" people (like politicians) are able to control or influence people and events. In the song, Susie claims that TigerLily will make men smell powerful!

Bruno writes that Frederick F. Fielding is "the most feared judge in California".

This means Frederick F. Fielding is:
Bruno writes that Frederick F. Fielding is "the most feared judge in California".

This means Frederick F. Fielding is:
This is incorrect. A powerful person may have power, authority, or influence. Powerful people are sometimes feared, but "powerful" and "feared" are not synonyms.
This is correct. If someone is "feared", it means that they are scary or make people feel frightened or afraid. Notice the difference in use between adjective and past participle: "I saw a scary horror film the other day and when I was watching it I was scared".
This is incorrect. If someone is respected it means they are regarded with honour or esteem. Someone who is feared could also be respected, but the two terms are not synonyms.
This is incorrect. If someone is volatile they are changeable and erratic. For example: "the singer of our rock group is extremely volatile - sometimes he doesn't feel like singing and we have to cancel our concerts at the last minute."

Select the best synonyms for the terms found in this article. Context is important!

"The column rounds up the week's winners and losers" --> "The column the week's winners and losers"

"We cannot guarantee the accuracy of these stories" --> "We cannot guarantee the of these stories"

"You're just jealous because you can't afford to have the Queen of England rap on one of your songs" --> "You're just jealous because you don't have enough to have the Queen of England rap on one of your songs".
Select the best synonyms for the terms found in this article. Context is important!

"The column rounds up the week's winners and losers" --> "The column summarizes 1 the week's winners and losers"

"We cannot guarantee the accuracy of these stories" --> "We cannot guarantee the correctness 2 of these stories"

"You're just jealous because you can't afford to have the Queen of England rap on one of your songs" --> "You're just jealous because you don't have enough money 3 to have the Queen of England rap on one of your songs".
1 summarizes: This is the best choice. "To summarize" means to take all the elements of something (in this case the week's news) and briefly outline the main points. "To summarize" is a perfect synonym for "to round up".
1 compares: This is incorrect. "To compare" means to take two or more elements and study their similarities and differences. For example, we could compare London and Paris. We could say Paris is more beautiful than London, but London has better food. This is comparing.
1 ridicules: This is incorrect. "To ridicule" means "to mock". For example, "They laughed at the Scotsman because he was wearing a kilt. It was quite funny at first, but I got the impression they were ridiculing him for it. He looked very upset". The term is not synonymous with "to round up"
2 correctness: This is correct. "Accuracy" refers to the truth or correctness of something. If the Sunday Roast cannot "guarantee the accuracy" of this article, then they cannot promise that its content is true or real.
2 humor: This is incorrect. "Humour" refers to how funny or amusing something is. This article was very funny or "humorous", however "humour" and "accuracy" are not synonymous!
2 pertinence: This is an incorrect answer. "Pertinence" describes how relevant something is. For example, "The facts we collected were quite pertinent to the debate. They proved our points exactly".
3 money: This is correct. In this context, to be able "to afford" something means to have enough money to purchase or pay for it. Having the Queen of England rap would probably cost a lot of money. Elkie Johns has a lot of money it seems. Some might say he has more dollars than sense!
3 power: This is incorrect. Elkie Johns is a very well known musician and possibly very powerful (meaning that he has influence or control). However, "having power" is unrelated to being able to "afford" something!
3 creativity: This is incorrect. Most musicians are known for their creativity. "To be creative" means "to be artistic" or "imaginative". However, "creativity" is unrelated to being able to "afford" something!

I use a reliable online 1 encyclopaedia to complete my homework.

This term describes a large computer which processes requests from many other computers or users:
The server 2 crashed this morning, so we can't access our emails. The tech team is trying to fix it!

Now we're looking for the verb which means "to display", "to receive", or "to generate" a page or data:
This webpage won't load 3 properly. I think my internet connection is down.
1 online: "Online" is the correct answer here. To "be online" is to be connected to the internet (or an internal network or intranet). "Online" can also be used as an adjective: "Visit our online store to purchase more of these wonderful lessons".
1 web search: This is incorrect. A "web search" is the act of entering a term into a search engine (Moogle, Yapoo!, etc.), hitting the "search" button, and looking at the results which are displayed. The information you are looking for is likely to be listed in the results of your "web search". Note that "to search for something" shares a similar meaning with "to look for something".
1 server: A "server" is a large computer which processes requests made on lots of other computers. Example: "The server crashed this morning, so our web page isn't working." Note that in another context, "a server" can be a waiter or waitress (for example in a restaurant).
2 server: "Server" is the correct choice here. A "server" is a large computer which processes requests made on lots of other computers. Here's another example: "Moogle has thousands of huge servers all over the world. This allows millions and millions of users to carry out web searches via Moogle".
2 online: To "be online" is to be connected to the internet (or an internal network or intranet). The term "online" is not a noun, and it does not make sense here.
2 web search: This is incorrect. A "web search" is the act of entering a term into a search engine (Moogle, Yapoo!, etc.), hitting the "search" button, and looking at the results which are displayed. The information you are looking for is likely to be listed in the results of your "web search". Note that "to search for something" shares a similar meaning with "to look for something".
3 load: "Load" is the best choice. To "load (a webpage, a game, a program)" is to launch and display it correctly. Here's another example: "You need to load Microtosh Word before you start writing your novel". You might also like to know about the related terms "to download" (to transfer data from the internet or another computer to your computer), and "to upload" (to transfer data from your computer to the internet or another computer).
3 print out: This is incorrect. To "print (out/off)" a document is to make a paper copy of it using a printer.
