SAT Power Vocab - Princeton Review

(Marvins-Underground-K-12) #1

  • A snowy winter day is not an anomaly, but a snowy July day is.

  • A house without a roof is an anomaly—a cold, wet anomaly.

  • A roofless house could be said to be anomalous. Something that is anomalous is
    something that is not normal or regular.

apprehensive (ap ruh HEN siv) adj worried; anxious


Mnemonic:

Whenever    the farmer  came    to  the barn    with    a   butchering  knife,  the HEN became
FEARFUL.
