TOEFL Vocabulary Exercise 17

Directions:
Each recycling exercise is divided into three quizzes: 1)multiplechoice quiz; 2) sentence-completion quiz; 3) 60-word typing test. Time yourself when doing each.
Do all four quizzes sequentially to maximize the recycling learning process.
When choosing a multiple-choice answer (Quiz #1), do not look for the perfect answer. For TOEFL, and for this text, there are no perfect answers. Choose the multiple-choice answer you think is closest in meaning.
√ Answer all multiple-choice questions even if you do not know the answer. For TOEFL, you will not lose a point if you answer a multiple-choice question incorrectly, so guess and move on.
For the sentence-completion quiz (Quiz #2), you will have to use the appropriate part of speech to complete each sentence. For example, you might have to change a singular noun to a plural noun, or a base verb to the infinitive according to the syntax of the sentence.
Abbreviations: n = noun, v = verb, adj = adjective, adv = adverb, phr = phrase, id = idiom, conj = conjunction.

Many English words end in the suffix ous. For example, if you’re a
diligent student, you undoubtedly take copious notes. On top of that,
you’re quite punctilious. Since you work hard, you’re often ravenous
and love delicious comestibles. You think buying expensive
contrivances is superfluous and ludicrous, and a perfect TOEFL score
would be wonderful, marvelous, not to mention miraculous.
