choose two of the words from the list. write a sentence for each word to show you understand its meaning.
1.
2.

Explanation:

1. The word "conceal" means to hide. A secret is something that is typically hidden, while the sky, good news, and the air are not usually concealed.
2. "Keen" means sharp or excellent. A hawk with keen eyes would have excellent vision, which helps it hunt. Difficulty hunting, dark - colored eyes, or eyes set far apart do not match the meaning of "keen" in this context.
3. "Withdrawn" means taken back or removed. An objection that is withdrawn would be taken away, not voiced loudly, repeated, or just considered.
4. "Duplicate" means to make an exact copy. Editing, extending, or writing a summary do not mean the same as duplicating.

For the sentence - writing part (using "revoke" and "evoke" as examples):

• Evoke: The old photograph evoked memories of her childhood. (Here, "evoke" is used to show the action of drawing forth memories, which is in line with its meaning of "to call out of" (in the sense of bringing out memories from within)).

Answer:
