Im so excited to share following sentences(of my own making :) ) .
I formed them after I found it really difficult to remember these 34 words .
They are a total of 14 sentences.
Any feedback /suggestions/additions of your own sentences would help me improve on my wordlist too ...

1. Ben Hurr asked for exegesis in exiguous amount of time ;with exigency.
But the priest expatiated instead of expediting the sermon.

2. Intrepid person is hard to be blustered.A gullible person is easy to gull.

3.Chandler is a sardonic to a shrew like Monica who treats her husband like a subaltern.
Such a subversive tendency supplants the basis of relationship leading to reprisal or a tendency to requite.

4. An unbridled man becomes untrammeled.
The upshot (outcome) is he is upbraided(scolding) which leads to his traduce (slander).
Such a traduce becomes travail(mental torture/ physical torture) for the family.
A mental turpitude (corruption) doesnt paint a good vignette of the future.
Such a person is prohibited by his parents - the testators to inherit their property.
Any subterfuge adopted by this man to temporize and put a stay notice on the codicils is rejected by the court.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next couple of sentences are from the Hindu epic -Mahabharata.
1.Bhima was a ponderous (weighty) person but the eldest brother Yudhishthir enjoyed preponderance (superiority) over the five Pandavas.

2. Pejorative remarks of Draupadi led to the ultimate perdition of Hastinapur.

3. Pandavas unfortunate vicissitude pushed them into slavery for a cavalier person like Duryodhana; who blustered Yudhishthira to bet his wife Draupadi in gambling .
This shows Yudhishthir's decrepitude. ]]> GRE Analogies and Antonyms rrgre http://www.urch.com/forums/gre-analogies-antonyms/128906-word-maps-34-difficult-remember-words.html http://www.urch.com/forums/gre-analogies-antonyms/128893-analogies-big-book.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:26 GMT *Epidermis : Mammal* a.blanket : bed b.root : plant c. topsoil : farm d. bark : conifer e. bread : sandwich OA : d *submission :obeisance* Epidermis : Mammal

I am a senior at my university with a 3.8 GPA in political science.

I bought a preparation book from McGraw Hill and the words given in the antonym section are simply ridiculous. I talked to a few friends who recently took the exam who told me they did not receive many of these words, such as garrulous.

I just do not understand why these people think that these words are of the level of importance that perspective graduate students should know their loose opposites and/or connections to other words. ]]> GRE Analogies and Antonyms mfricker http://www.urch.com/forums/gre-analogies-antonyms/128724-actual-gre-verbal-ridiculous.html http://www.urch.com/forums/gre-analogies-antonyms/128689-analogy-doubts.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 09:13:32 GMT I'm not getting the relationship,por favor, El Seņor explain
