Vocabulary Sentences From My Wife’s English Exam
My best guess is that most of these kids are simply guessing and have no idea what the bold words mean. Then again, it is possible that they are playing highly ironic games with the vocabulary sections of their exams instead of attempting to pass. Yes, that seems the most likely scenario now that I mention it.

- They obdurate/pontificate/flux in England and France for a few months each year.

Believe me, they were just guessing. They are horrible at vocabulary. Still, they do make for some amusing reads at times. Here’s the sad part…The sentences were EXACTLY the same as the ones on their quizzes. All they had to do was memorize the right word. They didn’t actually have to know what they meant!
