Vocabulary set 1 for 11th Grade I guess

Question 1

Acrimonious:
Bitter, sarcastic, harsh
(picture goes here)

Answer 1

This visual relates to the word acrimonious because of the contrast between the girl’s unamused expression and her claim that she’s excited, purposefully contradicting herself to deliver a passive-aggressive. Consequently, since people who act sarcastic are typically annoyed by something, this means that acrimonious has a negative connotation.

Question 2

Aesthetic:
retaining or pertaining to a sense of beauty or art
(picture goes here)

Answer 2

This visual relates to the word aesthetic because it depicts a meticulously decorated room in a house, with multiple pieces of furniture placed in organized and well thought out places. Consequently, since people tend to enjoy organized and eye pleasing rooms like this, then that can be applied to things other than just houses, thus giving aesthetic a positive connotation.

Question 3

Ameliorate:
to make better, to relieve, to improve
(picture goes here)

Answer 3

This visual relates to the word ameliorate because the 2 moving workers are making the job of unloading easier for each other by working together. Consequently, since the 2 moving workers relieving the work they’d have to do if they did it alone, that contributes to the word’s positive connotation.

Question 4

Archaic:
antiquated, old, out of use
(picture goes here)

Answer 4

This visual relates to the word archaic because the arcade machine shown was one of the first forms of video games, and became more obsolete as the medium continued to innovate. Consequently, since older items such as the arcade cabinet are usually outclassed by what’s being produced today, they’re sometimes considered obsolete or inferior. Thus why archaic typically has a negative connotation.

Question 5

Aversion:
strong disclination, disliking
(picture goes here)

Answer 5

This visual relates to the word aversion because the girl in the picture is showing a strong disliking for the broccoli through her facial expression. With words such as “disclination” and “dislike” in the description of the word, it’s safe to assume that aversion has a negative inclination.
