Answer 5

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Okay. I'll start with ones I can pick out easily.

Answer 8

surveillance
Keeping a close eye on.
Sentence number 2 of the police keeping the house under close....surveillance.

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

3. About the tomb.. and the death. I would probably go with vigil.
A vigil is when you stay awake to either watch or pray, also a christian term as an eve of for something religious.

Answer 11

Sentence 4, the monks would be walking vigilantly, (softly, carefully) because they didn't want to harm anything. See how that works?

Answer 12

I would like to comment on your answer for sentence four

Answer 13

yeah i see

Answer 14

5. Since the athlete had so much training and talent, they were auspicious (favorable) to be the contender.
Yes @Haksorin go ahead

Answer 15

Vigilantly means "Awake and Alert." , Or "Keenly watchful to detect danger.

Answer 16

A word that best I feel will fit with that sentence would be Auspicious

Answer 17

Synonyms include ; watchful, observant, attentive, alert, eagle-eyed, hawk-eyed, on the lookout, on one's toes, on the qui vive.
Quite frankly I do not see any other words that describe them to be careful.
@Haksorin Auspicious means favorable.

Answer 18

Or prosperous. Either or.

Answer 19

It may also mean Prosperous

Answer 20

That was just my opinion. You may continue.

Answer 21

Because they wish to harm no living things, Buddhist monks walk ___prosperous________ly to avoid stepping on insects.
Doesn't make sense to me. :P

Answer 22

@Twistrose Which do you think?

Answer 23

well um i think your right

Answer 24

Prosperously is an Adverb.

Answer 25

but your right, it doesnt fit

Answer 26

@Haksorin Your opinion is greatly noted. I just don't think that favorable or prosperous fits with monks trying to be obviously "careful" about not stepping on bugs.

Answer 27

These vocab words can get confusing. I never much enjoyed such complexity when there is simplicity.

Answer 28

1. Many religions encourage self-knowledge through meditation and ______________
Let me go through the words.

Answer 29

Since they are talking about meditation, I bet introspection, the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. (e.g soul-searching), is probably your best choice.

Answer 30

There. I have answered them all. Any questions?

Answer 31

i have two more

Answer 32

You may post.

Answer 33

@Haksorin Do you agree with introspection? Seemed most appropriate for me.

Answer 34

6. The botanical garden is trying to obtain at least one _________ of every native American tree.
7. The _______________of the nuclear war threatened the late twentieth century.

Answer 35
