Synopses & Reviews
Several new practice exercises and short tests make this edition of Hot Words better than ever. The book is filled with words that students are likely to encounter when they take the SAT I or any one of many other verbal skills tests. This means they had better know what each word means and how to use it. Sagacious, taciturn, and labyrinth are just three among the 350 tough words that show up most often on the SAT I. They're all presented here, with definitions, sample sentences, and explanations of word origins.
