the underlined word.

1. discover a rash

a. scuffle
b. span
c. detect
d. justify

1. an honest conversation

Explanation:

• For the first question, “discover” means to find something. “Detect” also means to find or notice something, so it is the synonym. “Scuffle” means a fight, “span” means a length of time or distance, and “justify” means to show something is right.
• For the second question, “honest” means truthful. “Blunt” means direct and truthful (in a sometimes rude way), so it is the closest synonym. “Continuous” means without interruption, “vivid” means bright or clear, and “flexible” means able to bend.

Answer:

1. C. detect
2. A. blunt
