Q1Words in context
The senator gave a ______ summary, distilling the 80-page report into three clear points.
Answer: B
Concise = clear and brief. “Distilling … into three clear points” signals brevity; “verbose” is the opposite.
Q2Words in context
Reviewers asked the author to ______ her conclusions with data before the study could be published.
Answer: A
To substantiate is to support with evidence — exactly what “with data” points to.
Q3Words in context
Rather than chase a perfect solution, the manager took a ______ approach and fixed what mattered most first.
Answer: C
Pragmatic = practical and sensible — the opposite of chasing an ideal. “Fixed what mattered first” is the clue.
Q4Words in context
The recipe was refreshingly ______: every measurement and step was spelled out in full detail.
Answer: B
Explicit = stated clearly and in full detail. “Spelled out in full detail” matches directly.
Q5Words in context
A good referee stays ______, judging each play on the evidence rather than on loyalties.
Answer: C
Objective = unbiased. “On the evidence rather than on loyalties” is the definition in disguise.

How the email button works
Already wired. This mini-lesson posts to your Formspree endpoint formspree.io/f/mpqgdkww — when a student submits, you get an email with their name, every answer, and the score. Nothing to set up.

Note: the button sends only when the file is opened in a real browser (or hosted), not inside a preview pane.
