New vocabulary (Intermediate-Advanced level)



Good evening, my dear vocabulary learners! Here is a new challenge for you:
bestow
contrive
masticate
engulf
spur
ransom

1.     You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I demand your attention; your feelings, I know, will _____ it unwillingly, but I demand it of your justice.
2.     Why can't a body take a club and _____ them as soon as they get here?
3.     He noted that Bob whirled to the right, and resolved to keep him straightened out by a _____on the left.
4.     You may well wonder how I _____ to pass my time here, and for the first week it was insufferably dull.
5.     Monk quite as hungry as his people, but affecting perfect indifference for the absent mutton, cut a fragment of tobacco, half an inch long, from the carotte of a sergeant who formed part of his suite, and began to _____ the said fragment, assuring his lieutenants that hunger was a chimera, and that, besides, people were never hungry when they had anything to chew.
6.     Together with our friends and allies, we will work together to shape change, lest it _____ us.
