Thank you 💫

invidious has also been defined as actions done to cause harm or to generate envy....so envious should also be an apt option what i feels?

[xenovialara]

27 second attempt
overt= blatant, countenanced =allowed, cursory = superficial

[raihans]

I really appreciate the black background.

[mahekmishra]

won't superficial in this case also point to abstract as an answer, instead of cursory?

[holarryho]

Did not expect chinese rap as the intro song lmao

[smacky]

It seems to me that Baroque could mean disjointed. If a woman is beautiful in a baroque sort of way, it means that her features don't match the typical standards of beauty, for example, she may have a prominent nose but somehow the disjointed look works. Merriam Webster seems to back this up with its third definition of baroque-irregularly shaped. Thoughts?

[lijoy]

The song is in Chinese. What a surprise!

[ahmedazzam]

extremely useful and helpful.
you deserve adulation for that really great work. ❤💗😍😗😘

[DeepakSharma-cmjc]

countenance can be encourage also...it is given by meriam webster

Mr. Mat! In Vocabulary Test Part 12, though debatable, since "canny" means careful also, since sharp was more closely related in the sense of the definition canny, I didn't oppose it. However, for "invidious" though unpleasant is also an appropriate definition, envious would be the more accurate choice. The word invidious is derived from the latin word "invidiosus" which translates to envy, which the definition/synonym can be more commonly prioritized through Merriam-Oxford and Google.

Hey Greg,
The word 'numinous' (#1) is a synonym to 'mysterious' as per "google" dictionary. Though, I think that 'spiritual' is a stronger and better answer though. Feel a bit cheated from a perfect score on this one. *lol*

Just discovered this series(and your channel), this is great!
If I am aiming for a 160-165 in the verbal section, approximately how many out of 30 do I need to be getting right? I am getting 25-28 right out of 30 in the 4 I have done so far.

[aria]

Excellent video!
I have a question. #24, the word invidious also has the measning of "envious" according to the dictionary. Why the word envious is not the answer here? Thanks

[rashmi]

Hi! I have been sincerely following all lessons. In past lessons, we discussed recondite means random or obscure.. then in lesson 7, we learned arbitrary is random. Then here obscure should be arbitrary right? Why is it unknown? How will I know the difference?

[AnalyticaAFKJourney]

Here's a question for you, which is more useful for the GRE, the verb form of countenance or the noun form? (Facial expression vs. approval/tolerance)

[taskmaster]

affinity has another meaning which is something similar to each other, that's a trap that gre could use.

[sawsanot]

could you please check the word canny! see on google translation it also means cautious or careful! or do you think google translation is not very accurate. this is the first time I experience this conflict with google translation and hopefully not all my translations are wrong :(
