Before taking the quiz, compete against your classmate using Quizlet to see who can match definitions with the correct words. Enjoy!
Next, open Exam.net and choose the broad or narrow quiz. Or, if you have begun taking the Deep Path, continue there.
The narrow is more challenging as rephrasing requires of you to use the vocabulary that we studied, while the broad is less challenging and more general rephrasing sentences.
