Vocab review Nov. 20th


OK, here it goes! The first one of you to answer all these vocab questions correctly and post them in a comment will get a wonderful prize next Friday:

  1. another way to say get an injection
  2. what babies get to prevent catching illnesses like hepatitis, tetanus, polio, etc. (look up!)
  3. to make a lot of money (esp. quickly and via morally questionably means)
  4. synonym for protest or demonstrate beginning with "r"
  5. mental faculties - hint: first letter "w" and a short word
  6. when authorities do not allow certain stories to be published
  7. translation of "viene bien" (having an answer key, for instance)
  8. two words for a person without a home who wanders from place to place and lives a precarious existence (not homeless, which is an adjective)
  9. a substance extracted from plants used for colouring (remember Daniel's explanation of the origin of "Brazil") - hint: first letter "d" and very small word
  10. a synonym for fauna beginning with "w"
