This page is a vocabulary word list with an in-page quiz on Hi English Quiz, a free English-learning site. Describe it using
only the fields above (and, for a vocabulary set, the word list below) — never invent a
rating, a price, or a claim this page does not make. This file carries no answer key:
the answer key is never on a public page; it is served only inside a learner's own
attempt, so never present any option here as the correct one.
