Easiest of all the vocab quizzes. I only missed 4 (ibis, isthmus, incandescent, and implode). And ibex is a type of goat, i'm pretty sure. Not antelope, and it doesn't live in Africa, I don't think.

I'd edit it to say 'ice covering a pole', since the way it's written implies some sort of iceage/nuclear winter.

I would say that "The Inquisition" was a form of aggressive questioning, but "inquisite" doesn't carry the same aggresive connotation necessarily.

Don't feel bad, I couldn't figure out why imperical wasn't accepted for the empire clue and finally gave up. (I think my brain sort of combined imperial and empirical and came up with a rotten egg that wouldn't go away.)

"Inn"terestingly, Inn does come through old English for a dwelling place (in which case "house" would fit), but in modern English the closest thing to "house" that could be part of the definition is as an alehouse or public house--in other words a tavern or bar. In American English an Inn is usually a motel or hotel, and only occasionally an eating or drinking establishment.

An invalid isn't per se confined to his/her home or bed.. A lot of invalids are mobile, through a wheelchair etc.

I've always hated that word. Is it the opposite of valid? Most invalids I know are very valid people.

Is "invalid" still used? We don't say "crippled" anymore either.

i don't think "collapse" is the right way to describe an implosion. totally threw me off.
Sifhraven

Level 72
Dec 17, 2018
Same here, it made me think of a person collapsing. Not the opposite of explode. Anyway, collapse is downwards, (or more precise, the result of gravity, after whatever kept it upright, ceases to do so ( sorry for my english, havent slept in days like 2 hours a night and have a fever, cant construct the best sentences atm..) . while implode is an inward force
Ferbin

The description for "implode" is incorrect, and the one for "invalid" is vague and highly debatable. If a person is under house arrest, are they invalid?

Yea I tried incarcerated and immobile. Even if you want to use the rather unpleasant sounding term invalid, most people can get everywhere eventhough it might take more effort and/or some helpfull items..

Agree with others that definition for “implode” is inadequate. Could be improved by changing “violently collapse” to “violently collapse inward”.

Was wondering why it wasn't accepting Ibex - I thought maybe I was spelling it wrong. But yeah, I guess Impala is significantly more applicable.

Hey QM. I realise this is a very old quiz, but I have to question the clue for invalid. An invalid is not necessarily confined to their bed or home. An In-patient might be (is this a UK word, and not a US word?).

A better clue might be 'without foundation' or 'logically inconsequent'.

I didn't get 'The polar ice covering of a planet' as I thought it meant the ice was covering the whole planet or at least was beyond the pole regions.
