Basic Word List

by Samuel C. Brownstein, Mitchel Weiner, Sharon Weiner Green

Herein are more than 2,000 ought-to-know words for students preparing for college entrance exams such as the SAT and ACT, and for adults who wish to regain their vocabularies of yore. Each word, from "abase" to "zephyr," is defined and presented in a sentence, a short review of word roots and prefixes is included in the back, the book is easily portable, and the font won't cause eye strain. In addition, the words are separated into manageable word lists to study from (with comprehensive practice tests), providing a pulchritudinous amalgamation of erudition to augment one's sagacious eloquence.
