STUDENTS’ CHOICES

Hi to all: there are 35 words this time, as there was some overlap between groups. Remember to check all parts of speech (for example, exasperation, not just exasperate) and to go back to the reading and learn the word in context. Also, just to clear up any confusion: these words won't appear on your tests, but will be on the final exam.
