While everyone agrees that disinterested can mean "unbiased," the debate rages on as to whether it can also mean "uninterested" or "indifferent." Sticklers are vehemently opposed to this secondary meaning. (Of course, you'll also find the disinterested — or uninterested? — folks who couldn't care less.) 4)==Mnemonics: Not + Interested. The GRE teacher was not interested in the students grades so he was not bothered about the outcome. 5)==The President of the election commission of Pakistan must not be affiliated with any political party and should only be a disinterested member.

An example of an aberration is when the temperature hits 90 degrees in January — it's nice and warm, but it's really strange. ==The noun aberration often refers to something that doesn't fit with current moral standards, or is something that shows a mental lack of control. == Today, you'd say it was an aberration to send little children to work in coal mines and factories and not to school, which was common in the nineteenth century.

This kind of venality can vary from police officers accepting bribes to politicians making decisions and passing laws based on campaign contributions 4)==Venal can be broken down into Ve (We) Nal (Null). We Null meaning no money (0 money).

Ambivalent

1)==দ্বিমুখী; অনিশ্চয়তাময়; পরস্পরবিরোধী 2)==Feeling of mixed or conflicting emotions about something. 3)==If you can't decide how you feel about something, declare yourself ambivalent about it. ==So etymologically speaking, if you're ambivalent you're being pulled by two equally strong things — but in practice, ambivalence often arises from caring very little either way.

In an ambulance you have mixed feelings (Bachey ga ya naheen) 5)==Mudassar felt ambivalent about studying for the GRE because he had wanted to do a job but his parents wanted him to study abroad on USEFP scholarships

You probably don't venerate your teacher or boss; however, you may act like you do! == Although you can certainly venerate a deity, a person can deserve it, too. Find part of the word Venus in there, meaning "love, desire" and dang, if someone venerates you, you're doing okay. We don't usually venerate our sweethearts; we often save it for those higher powers, or for remarkable people we're in awe of. Mother Teresa was venerated for her work with the poor, and Gandhi was venerated for his efforts for peace, but most people aren't venerated for normal stuff, like being someone's sweetie. 4) Mnemonic: Venerate sounds like "Ven we Rate"; When we rate someone higher we treat them with respect ==vener (ব্যানার) is offer great respect. 5)The GRE student, despite the fact that he never helped any other student, was venerated amongst his peers for getting perfect scores in his GRE exam.

Likewise, a person with a parochial mentality is narrow-minded, or not open to new ideas. == As a parochial school is a school that is affiliated with a particular church, the connection is easy to see. In general though, parochial refers to a narrow or limited point of view — that is, an outlook that extends no further than the limits of the parish. You may feel that there is no room in your life for the parochial attitudes of the older generation. Let's hope you remain open-minded as you age! 4)Mnemonics: Link this with "Paaro" of the Pakistani village whose parents were narrow in their vision and married Paaro to an old man. 5)==Fatima could not carry on her relationship with her husband because his thinking was too parochial.

Commensurate

1)==সমানুপাতিক; সমবিস্তার; সমান 2)==proportional to in extent, amount or degree. 3)==The word commensurate has to do with things that are similar in size and therefore appropriate. Many people think the death penalty is a commensurate punishment for murder. In other words, the penalty fits the crime. ==When things are commensurate, they're fair, appropriate, and the right size. If you got a ticket for jaywalking, you shouldn't get ten years in prison — that penalty is not commensurate with the crime. The word commensurate is usually followed by with or to; one thing is commensurate with or to another. 4)Mnemonic: Sounds like Common Rate; so your pay is of the same rate as your work. 5)====His salary was commensurate to amount of hard work he did at office.

Omniscience

== অপার জ্ঞান; সর্বজ্ঞতা == all-knowing ==Many people believe in the omniscience or all-knowing power of God. ==" Omniscience is a state of possessing all the knowledge there is — pretty impressive. In a religious sense, people believe in a higher being that has omniscience. In literature, omniscience can refer to the perspective of a narrator who is all-knowing or has the ability to see into the minds of all his characters. ==After taking GRE classes, Fatima became omniscient on all basic concepts of the exam. ==Mnemonic: We have a way to send money through UBL omni, its a new science & knowledge. So omniscience is something all-knowing power. Omni means universal. Like Omnivorous are those who eat meat as well as herbs. So its all-rounders.

supine

== চিত্ হইয়া শয়ান; অলস == inactive ==You can be described as supine when you're lying face up — for example, your favorite yoga poses might be the supine ones. Someone who is very passive or lethargic could also be called supine — for instance, someone might be supine in the face of continuous threats and insults. ====Whenever a person or animal is lying on its back, belly-up, it is supine. When your hand is open, palm-up, it is also supine. Supine can even describe a person who gives insufficient resistance, or who is lazy and ineffectual. "When Jack refused to object to the landlord's repeated — and gouging — rent increases, he was supine." ==After the 4.5 hour long GRE exam the Pakistani test takers lay supine on his bed. ==Mnemonic: When sup(snack) is in the your tent, you always behave like inactive or calm. you offer no resistance, in such a way that the snack will go from here as early as possible. If you tease the sup it will remain there for more time. So supine must means offering no resistance, or do nothing. So inactive is meaning of it.

== পক্ষাবলম্বী; পক্ষভুক্ত লোক; পক্ষীয় ==one one-sided; prejudiced; committed to a party(with dislike of any others) ==If something is prejudicial towards a particular point of view, you can call it partisan. You'll often hear of the partisan politics in the U.S.— since politicians seem to be completely devoted to the agendas of their own parties. ==Partisan can be used to describe rabid supporters of any person or activity. In American English, however, it is most often used to refer to politics and the American two-party system of Democrats and Republicans. A bill introduced may have partisan support from the party that introduced the bill, or — more rarely it seems to American voters — the bill may even have bipartisan support. The prefix bi is added to show the support from both parties. ==Our judicial system consists of partisan judges; in order to be promoted as a judge, one should have strong relationship with one of strong political party. == ==Mnemonic: == parti(think of a political party)+san(son)...so a father who is favouring his son's political party, instead of a good party. ==One who is inclined only towards his favourite party.

Places can also be described as cosmopolitan, meaning "diverse," or bustling with lots of people of varying nationalities. Any way you use it, cosmopolitan implies a sophistication, which might explain why both a well-known alcoholic cocktail and a famous women's magazine are both named after the word cosmopolitan. ==familiar with and at ease in many different countries and cultures. ==his knowledge of French, Italian, and Spanish made him genuinely cosmopolitan =="his cosmopolitan benevolence impartially extended to all races and to all creeds"- T.B. Macaulay" =="the ancient and cosmopolitan societies of Syria and Egypt" =="that queer, cosmopolitan, rather sinister crowd found around the Marseilles docks" == ==Atif had lived in Paris for a year as an exchange student, he seemed very much the cosmopolitan to her old classmates ==Mnemonic: In cosmic sex movie Krepa is a cosmopolitan person. ==cosmopolitan= cosmo (cosmic= universal or wider + politan (population). So it means different kinds of people of the world in a specific area. So a cosmopolitan can understand and speak different languages.

fiction

== মিথ্যা গল্প; অলীক কাহিনী; বানান গল্প ==imaginative, but not real; a deliberately false or improbable account ==A fiction is a deliberately fabricated account of something. It can also be a literary work based on imagination rather than on fact, like a novel or short story. ==The Latin word fictus means "to form," which seems like a good source for the English word fiction, since fiction is formed in the imagination. Like its literary cousins fable, legend, and myth, however, fiction has a slightly darker additional meaning: a deliberate lie or untruth. When we talk about "the line between fact and fiction," we're talking about the difference between truth and lies. ==Most stories and movies about aliens are fictions that have little or nothing to do with facts. ==Mnemonic: We heard this many times that modern movies are fiction in nature. which is not real, just imaginative. ==science fiction, non-fiction, science fiction film, historical fiction, pulp fiction, work of fiction, science-fiction

exigent

==অত্যাবশ্যক; জরুরী == demanding attention; requiring precise accuracy; urgent. ==requiring precise accuracy "became more exigent over his pronunciation" ==When you describe something as exigent, you are saying it requires attention: it can't be ignored. ==Exigent, which means "demanding attention," comes from the Latin for "driving out." If there's a runaway train driving straight at you, that's an exigent situation — not a good time to stop and write a poem. When circumstances become exigent, it's time to act. When exigent questions arise, an answer is necessary. You can also use exigent for a person who demands attention, usually by complaining. If you've ever worked as a waiter, you've surely dealt with an exigent customer. ==Mnemonic: EX-tremely ur-GENT ==While taking a GRE exam, one should exigent for accuracy and time limit of the test.

Eloquence

"The job entailed us standing in the snow for hours dressed as giant, human hot dogs. It entailed far too much humiliation to justify the $3.55 an hour we were paid." ==The word entail is connected to the idea of preconditions. If you want something, you better figure out what it entails. If we want to see the movie at 9 o'clock, that will entail us waiting in the lobby another hour. If we want to stay out of trouble with our moms, that will entail us calling them and letting them know we're going to be later than we said. ==Scoring above 320 on the GRE entails studying 5 hours every day for more than 2 months and learning thousands of new words. ==Mnemonic: Tail is a necessary part of the animal, so necessary

mimicking

==অনুকারী == imitation; copying (or trying to copy) the actions of someone else ==imitate (a person or manner), especially for satirical effect "The actor mimicked the President very accurately" ==someone who mimics (especially an actor or actress) ==A mimic is someone who is good at imitating others. A gifted mimic might be able to imitate one president after another just by minimally changing facial expression and manner of speaking. Mimic, related to mime, an entertainer who performs using gestures not speech, can be traced back to the Greek mimeisthai "to imitate." Usually when you mimic someone, you imitate them in order to make fun of them. Performers mimic famous people to get laughs, but ordinary people mimic others when they are angry at them. Who hasn't mimicked parents or a boss who has said no one too many times?! ==When Asif caught during his mimicking the employer in rude way, he got fired from the job. ==Mnemonic; Mimicking=Mimi making copy any action or attitudes.

==অপ্রাসঙ্গিক; বেহায়া; শিষ্টাচারহীন; বেসরম; বাজে ==insolent, disrespectful, lacking good manners. ==If someone's rude without being openly nasty, like a kid in the back row of class quietly heckling his teacher, you can call him impertinent. ==Impertinent originally meant just what it sounds like, "not pertinent, irrelevant," but it also came to mean "inappropriate, out of place" and therefore "intrusive, presumptuous; behaving without proper respect; insolent." It still carries a condescending air, so it's best used of or to a child being snippy to a grownup: "Don't be impertinent!" ==After his wallet was stolen, Ahmed found the police inspector's investigation impertinent - he thought that the police officer was trying to ask him such questions in order to place the blame for the incident on Ahmed. ===Mnemonics: Sounds like Impotent; Impotent people are rude and insolent because they are frustrated

Disparaged

==অবজ্ঞা করা; সম্মানহানি করা; তাচ্ছিল্য করে কথা বলা ==express a negative opinion, belittle others ==If you haven't got anything nice to say, then it's time to disparage someone. It means to belittle or degrade a person or idea. ==Disparage is a specific way to describe a certain kind of insult, the kind that secures the insulter's place as superior. It often refers to an opinion or criticism lobbed in print or via word of mouth, not necessarily an act done to someone's face. If someone or something is being disparaged, you will often find a competing interest in the wings. ==In the issue essay on the GRE, disparaging the other side of the argument does not give any credit; its actually waste of precious time & words. ==Mnemonic: disparage= display + rage. When you display rage to others you humiliate or belittle them.

That something would be called inalienable. The word refers to a natural right that cannot be revoked by an outside force. ==The word inalienable is often linked to human rights — you've probably heard the term "inalienable rights." In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson (using the un- variant) wrote that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights" including "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The spelling may vary but the meaning is clear: an inalienable right is something that can't be given or taken away by a government or another legal power. ==Once you select to see your score of the GRE, it is inalienable from the result of this score, that would appear in your record for taking test upto 5 years. Mnemonic: it's similar to in-alian-able; as alien is some creature outside of this planet, and are far away from us. so in-alian-able must be something that can't get away, or give-up.

Vindicate

==অভিযোগ যে মিথ্যা তাহা প্রমাণ করা; সত্যতা প্রতিপাদন করা ==to clear someone from a blame, conspiracy or accusation. ==Vindicate means to justify, prove, or reinforce an idea — or to absolve from guilt. If your family thinks you hogged the last piece of pie on Thanksgiving, you'll be vindicated when your younger brother fesses up. == When a physicist proves a theory that his colleagues derided, he vindicates it. When a lawyer clears her client's name in a trial, she vindicates him. Machiavelli argued that the results he got vindicated his tactics — in other words, the ends justified the means. =="vindicate a claim" ==Even taking 10 wickets in a match cannot vindicate Muhammad Asif in the eyes of the Pakistani public - for he was involved in match fixing and betting invalidates all those wickets. ==Mnemonic: Sounds like Win the Case.

When people talk about greed, it's clearly not a good thing, but avarice has an even worse flavor to it. Avarice is often looked upon as a sin, and it's always considered despicable and evil. ==extreme greed for material wealth ===greediness for wealth. Many politicians are avarice; they don't spend funds to the public, instead they use it for their savings in swisbanks. ==avarice- a + very + rich > a strong greed to be 'a very rich' person.

improbable

==অসম্ভাব্য; অকল্পনীয় ==not likely to be true or to happen. ==this account of events was seen by the jury as most improbable == having a probability too low to inspire belief; unrealistic ==Your parents might tell you it's improbable that they'll buy you a car when you turn 16. Since improbable means something is unlikely but not impossible, your optimism allows you to keep hoping. ==The adjective improbable also means statistically unlikely to happen. You might be afraid to fly, but the odds of a plane crash are so low that such an event is improbable. Improbable also means something that is so outrageous that you'd never admit you believed in it. You know the existence of the Loch Ness Monster is improbable, but that doesn't stop you from looking for it when you travel to Scotland. ==Getting a score of 260 in GRE is improbable, because one can get this score, if he did all questions wrongly, whose probability is too low to be true. ==Mnemonic: With almost no probability. Or almost impossible.

normative

==আদর্শস্থাপনকারী; আদর্শ; আদর্শ স্থাপন করে এমন ==pertaining to norms or tradition ==establishing, relating to, or deriving from a standard or norm, especially of behavior.(negative sanctions to enforce normative behavior) ==Something pertaining to norms — something normal or typical — can be described as normative. Temper tantrums, whining, and even hitting are all normative behaviors — if you're three. If you're thirty, you might have a problem. ==The adjective normative can also mean prescribing rules or standards. The U.S. government's normative rules for living in American society mean that you have freedom of speech, for example, but you don't have the right to slander or libel someone. The words "norm" and "normal" are related to normative, which comes from the French normatif, which itself is from the Latin word norma, "a carpenter's square." =="normative discipline"=="normative samples" = The current president of Pakistan has normative behaviour like other presidents, who little appear in public. =Mnemonic: Something pertaining to norms — something normal or typical — can be described as normative.

Frantic

==আনন্দ, বেদনা উদ্বেগ ইত্যাদিতে উদ্বেল; ক্ষিপ্ত; ক্ষিপ্তবৎ ==full of fear, anxiety and violent emotions ==When a mother loses her child, she's frantic. She's a crazed sort of agitated and goes on a frantic search for her child. A scene is frantic if there's lots of action with little order. ==Frantic is related to frenzy and both were originally ways to describe mental illness. Hundreds of years ago, if you were frantic, you were stark raving mad. Today, frantic implies fast wild movements or a desperate attempt to do something. On Christmas Eve, the scene at the mall was frantic with shoppers desperately searching for their last few gifts. And a wild party would only be called frantic if the police were called and everyone rushed to get away. ==Frantic to find his son, Athar made friends with two young Pakistani soldiers, who promised to help him. ==Mnemonic: Frantic contains F+Ran+Tic (tic tic time); so if you are getting late for office you will run frantically to reach on time.

Intimate

==আভাস দেওয়া; অতিপরিচিত; ঘনিষ্ঠ; অবগত করা ==to hint at something ==Intimate means being close. A small restaurant is called intimate because you're sitting close to the other people, and your best friends are considered your intimate friends. ==This adjective can mean very friendly, or very personal or private. ==The related verb intimate means to hint or suggest. Intimate is also a noun meaning a close friend or associate. And when you get intimate with someone, it can mean that you're sexually involved. ==At first the teacher intimated to the GRE student that he was not performing well in the class. But when the student did not improve his grades, the GRE teacher explicitly told the student that he was too weak to take the GRE test. ==Mnemonics: Intimate contains the word mate. So when you want to mate with someone you intimate (give a hint)

Illuminate

==আলোকিত করা; জ্বালান == to make brighter, make clear or easier to understand. ==To illuminate is to light up — with physical light or with an idea. A spotlight might illuminate an actor on stage, and a good chemistry teacher might illuminate students with a lesson on the atomic structure of hydrogen. ==Originally, the verb illuminate referred to decorating handwritten manuscripts with bright lettering or pictures. Monks illuminated manuscripts with colors like gold, silver, bright red, and blue. Nowadays you can illuminate anything in the dark — either literally or figuratively. If you are afraid of the dark, illuminate your bedroom. In the dark when it comes to organic chemistry? Get an illuminating tutor. ==Although GRE is a difficult exam, but by preparing for it you will be able to illumnite several complex topics and apply to top US program; as a result you will be able to illuminate your future career. ==Mnemonic: Derived from the word luminous (means bright), like luminous stars. Please don't mix it with eliminate(which means 'to remove completely')

boon

==আশীর্বাদ; মঙ্গলময়; হাসিখুশি; অনুরোধ ==blessing; benefit; something very helpful ==a thing that is helpful or beneficial. the navigation system will be a boon to both civilian and military users ==a favor or request. may I have the inestimable boon of a few minutes' conversation? ==of a companion or friend) close; intimate; favorite. he debated the question with a few boon companions in the barroom ==Boon means something beneficial to a specific person, entity, or cause. "Getting called out of school on the day of the test was a boon for Sam, as he hadn't remembered to study." Boon derives from the Old Norse bón, a request for a favor. Think of boon as a favor that no one has necessarily asked for, something extra. "We'd just spent our last dollar on a cup of coffee so it was a real boon to find a ten dollar bill lying on the sidewalk." Boon can also be an adjective for someone friendly and welcoming, as in "a boon companion." ==In addition to preparation, strategies are boon for attempting GRE very well, and best strategy is to start preparation as early as possible. Mnemonic: very close to boom boom Afridi. So Boon must mean something beneficial to specific person. It also means blessing or a desirable state.

Ameliorate

==উন্নয়নসাধন করা; সংশোধন করা; ভালো হওয়া ==to make better, to improve ==To ameliorate is to step in and make a bad situation better. You could try introducing a second lollipop to ameliorate a battle between two toddlers over a single lollipop. == Food drives can ameliorate hunger. An air conditioner can ameliorate the discomfort of a stiflingly hot summer day. A sympathy card can ameliorate grief. Family therapy can ameliorate severe sibling rivalry. Anything that can lift a burden or make something better can ameliorate. ==Zaid's pain of scoring less on the GRE was ameliorated when he found out that he still qualified for the Fulbright Scholarship. ==Mnemonic: Ameli sounds like Imli; Imli improves the taste of food

Humdrum

==একঘেয়ে; নীরস; গতানুগতিক; অকাল্পনিক ==Boring, monotonous routine ==That class on 18th century feminist zoologists and their favorite poets? Surprisingly humdrum, or dull, tedious, and totally boring. ==Anything that you can call humdrum is so severely lacking in variety and excitement that it's sure to make you hum and drum your fingers out of boredom. ==Humdrum is an adjective to describe the unglamorous monotony of everyday routines. It's the same old thing, again and again, over and over. ==Humdrum can also mean predictable, mind-numbing and not very challenging — hopefully the complete opposite of your social life. ===Sameer spent all day doing humdrum tasks for his GRE preparation; learning new words, reading passages and memorizing mathematical formulas. Mnemonic: The Pakistani movie HUMDUM was very boring and dull.

Intransigent

==একরোখা; আপসবিমুখ ==stubborn, unwilling to change one's views ==Intransigent means inflexible, stubborn, entrenched. Argue all you like with an intransigent three-year-old. He will never back down from the position that he wants the lollipop NOW. ==Trans has to do with movement — think transportation, or a package in transit, i.e. "on the way." The in- of intransigent means "not," so something or someone who is intransigent is not moving. If one political party wants to raise funds to improve schools but the other is intransigent on the subject of higher taxes, the debate will get nowhere. ==The intransigence of both the political parties made it impossible to arrive at a decision ==Mnemonic: intransigent = in mean not + transact --> won't do the transaction i.e. stubborn.

Strife

==কন্দল; শত্রুতা; বিবাদ; বৈপরীত্য ==severe disagreement & conflict over basic issues ==Strife is the act or state of fighting or arguing violently. The years leading up to the U.S. Civil War were characterized by great strife between northern and southern states over slavery and the role of a federal government. ==The strife between the two biggest political parties of Pakistan does not seem to resolve anytime soon. ==Mnemonic: Stife sounds like Strike. So you strike someone if you have a bitter fight or conflict.

Happenstance

==কাকতালীয় ঘটনা == coincidental event ==A happenstance is a coincidental event. If you call your brother on the phone, that's intentional. If you bump into him in a restaurant, it's happenstance. ==Happenstance is a combination of the words, happen and circumstance. Whereas circumstances are the conditions that surround an event, happenstance is the event itself. If you have no food at home so you go out to eat and sit next to a charming person who you end up marrying, your meeting was happenstance and your being hungry and having no food at home were the circumstances. ==It was such a happenstance that the two brothers Hamza and Hamid got exactly same scores on GRE. ==Mnemonic: happening in such a co-incidence is called happenstance.

Malfeasance

==কুকর্মসাধন; বেআইনী কাজ; অবৈধ কাজ ==wrongdoing or an incorrect act by a public official ==Whenever you see the prefix "mal-," you know it's not good. Malfeasance is bad behavior, especially from officials or people who should know better. ==If nothing else, the mal- in malfeasance will alert you to the fact that something bad is going on. == You can probably then infer that malfeasance means "to do bad." Today, it's usually a bad deed done by an official or an organization. You wouldn't accuse a dog who peed on the carpet of malfeasance, but you would accuse a mayor who took a bribe of malfeasance. ==The excise and taxation department in Pakistan discovered the high ranking officials malfeasance only after he had fled the country. Mnemonic: Sounds like MAL (bad) + FEES. Bad fee so it is something of a bribe. So malfeasance means officials taking bribe or doing a misconduct.

Notoriety

==কুখ্যাতি; দুর্নাম; অপকীর্তি ==ill-fame, famous but in a negative fashion ==Notoriety is fame you get from doing something bad or being part of a misfortune or scandal. Just remember: Notoriety's not al-righty. Charles Manson earned notoriety for his grisly crimes. ==The notoriety of Pakistan as a corrupt state is due to its lack of genuine system of accountability. ==Mnemonic: When a person is known as notorious (close to 'no tolerating'), he is eventually intolerable by others i.e. disrepute by others.

beholden

==কৃতজ্ঞতাদিপাশে আবদ্ধ; বাধিত ==under a moral obligation to someone ==The adjective beholden describes owing someone for something the person did to help you — it's your duty to repay the person. If your army buddy saves your life, you're beholden to help him when he gets injured. ==When you're beholden, it involves a bigger feeling of responsibility, one that sticks with you — and might even weigh on you — until you're able to repay it. Some people feel so uncomfortable being beholden to others that they try not to accept assistance from anyone out of worry over what they'd have to do in return. ==After getting the Fulbright scholarship, Irfan likes to be beholden to his instructor for the success. ==Mnemonic: Behold = Be + Hold so holding thanks to someone else.

apologist

==কৈফিয়তদানকারী; কোনো কিছুর পক্ষ সমর্থনকারী ==a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial. an enthusiastic apologist for fascism in the 1920s. ==one who writes in defense ==An apologist is a person who argues in favor of something unpopular. If you're an apologist for deep sea oil drilling, you would argue that drilling in the ocean is necessary and the benefits make up for any environmental damage. ==Apologists tend to be seen in a negative light, as defensive people who make excuses. The word apologist comes from the Greek word apologia, meaning "speaking in defense." Not all apologists are bad news; some just defend an unpopular idea. Even though apologist is similar to apology, don't confuse them — if you make an apology you're admitting to being wrong. But if you're an apologist, you justify your belief or action, and would do it all again! ==Many apologist came to talk-shows and defended the govt. because they were satisfied by its performance. ==an apologist for capital punishment" ==Mnemonic: Don't confuse it with apologise (acknowledge faults or failure). When we break this work we get apo-logi-st. Which looks to be appreciably and logically, stated. Which means giving favour.

Tumultuous

==কোলাহলপূর্ণ; প্রচণ্ড; বিক্ষোভপূর্ণ == noisy & disorder ==The adjective tumultuous means "disruptive," "troubled," "disorderly," or "turbulent." ==During the lecture of probability in the GRE class, the whole class became tumultuous because no student was able to comprehend the difficult concepts of this topic. ==Mnemonic: It is derived from 'tum ult ho' in Pakistan. Which means you lack discipline. So tumultuous must mean unrestrained and disorderly.

Tedious

==ক্লান্তিকর; বিরক্তিকর == lacking in interest;too long, slow, or dull: tiresome or monotonous.(a tedious journey) ==If something is tedious, it's boring. If you're anxious to get outside and enjoy the sun, even the best lecture will seem tedious. ==You ordinarily wouldn't use tedious for people, just things; you might say "His speeches are tedious," but usually not "He is tedious." Something that is tedious could also be called tiresome. Shakespeare's Friar Laurence says "I will be brief, for my short date of breath Is not so long as is a tedious tale." ==Learning vocabulary is a tedious exercise - therefore instead of learning these flashcards you should start reading from good websites such as Economist or Newyork times. =Mnemonic: In the movie of Teddy Ted sometimes got tedious...

Trifling

==খুঁটিনাটি; তুচ্ছ;ছোটখাট == trivial; unimportant ==If something is trifling it's really unimportant, of no consequence — "a trifling detail." =="a trifling matter" ==In order to get excellent scores on the GRE, one should practice trivial questions as well, because in GRE nothing is trifling. ==Mnemonic: tariff is tax imposed by govt. on export, which is almost always very low, to facilitate export. So trifling is something very low in important or not worth considering.

Scrupulous

==খুঁতখুঁতে; অত্যন্ত নীতিগত, কিছু কাজে মহান যত্ন এবং প্রচেষ্টা গ্রহণ; নীতিপরায়ণ ==extremely principled, taking great care and effort in doing something ==Scrupulous means very careful to do things properly and correctly, such as paying friends back for money borrowed right away, or not returning a pair of shoes after they've been worn outdoors. ==A scrupulous person is full of scruples, which are concerns about doing things that are morally right. Such a person is hesitant or doubtful, and might have trouble deciding what is morally right or wrong. ==While preparing for the GRE, Javeria scrupulously wrote all the difficult words on a piece of paper and made their flash cards. ==Mnemonic: Scrupulous sounds like sculpture; while building sculpture the worker has to be very careful and make a great effort to make it look perfect.

Ingenuous

==খোলামেলা; সাদাসিধে; আন্তরিক; মনখোলা; সরল =innocent and straightforward, artless ==Someone who is ingenuous shows a childlike innocence, trust, and openness. One of the things kindergarten teachers value is the chance to work with kids while they're still relatively ingenuous--their open, trusting natures are a joy. ==A near synonym is naive. Its opposite is disingenuous, which means "giving a false impression of being honest and sincere." Don't confuse the word ingenuous with the similarly spelled ingenious, which means "very smart or clever." Ingenuous is from Latin ingenuus "having the qualities of people born free, noble, honest, open," ultimately formed from the prefix in- "in" plus gignere "to produce." ==Although he looked like a villain, the movie actor still insisted that he can best cast as an ingenuous sweet young hero. ==Mnemonics: Ingenuous sounds like genuine; genuine people are always straightforward and harmless.

Eminence

==খ্যাতি বা স্বীকৃত শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব, বিশেষত একটি বিশেষ গোলক বা পেশার মধ্যে. উচ্চতর অবস্থা. ==fame or recognized superiority, especially within a particular sphere or profession. ==high status; Importance ==Eminence is superior status. If you become a world famous actor, the folks in your home town might treat you as an eminence when you come home for Thanksgiving. Just don't expect your family to do the same. ==We don't usually use it for mountain tops, however; it's social loftiness that scores eminence. Some special people are addressed as "your eminence," in the same way you'd call a judge "your honor." You can attain eminence or be an eminence. If you become a physical therapist, you might work with another kind of eminence: the high bit protruding from a bone where muscles or ligaments attach. ==Many students don't realize the eminence of a good score on the GRE analytical writing section. ==Mnemonic: Emi sounds like Ammi - In Pakistan ammi means mother. And mother is the most superior in status we believe. so eminence is superior or important.

Objurgation

==গালিগালাজ; তিরস্কার; ==criticising a person harshly ==Objurgation is a harsh reprimand or criticism. A teenager who gets home hours after his midnight curfew can expect objurgation from his angry parents. We are objurgating our govt. but not willing to change our self. ==When someone receives a severe scolding, that person experiences objurgation. Members of Congress sometimes seem to set themselves up for objurgation from their constituents, and a badly behaving class shouldn't be surprised at the objurgation they get from the teacher. ==Mnemonic: objection in jury is similar to objurgation, so its something harsh criticism

Wanting

==ঘাটতিযুক্ত; অভাবপূর্ণ; ত্রুটিপূর্ণ == lacking (this is a secondary meaning of want and it means lack of something) ==If something's wanting, there's not enough of something necessary in it. If your essay is wanting, it's missing something important and won't get an A. Try adding body paragraphs. ==If you forget the sugar in your chocolate chip cookies, you'll find them wanting when you taste them. Likewise, if your favorite team's defense is wanting, they're likely to lose the basketball game. Wanting, which was originally wantand, comes from the verb want, "to be lacking." ==Usage: After 1 month of preparation, Tanveer still felt his GRE preparation was wanting and therefore he decided to postpone his test. ===Mnemonics: You only want something when you lack it (don't have it). So wanting means lacking

Underscore

==জোর দেত্তয়া; গুরুত্ব আরোপ করা ==to emphasize ==To underscore is to draw special attention to a fact, idea, or situation. When you're involved in a debate, it's wise to underscore the points that best support your argument. ==Literally, underscore means "to underline," or draw a line beneath a word to emphasize it. In common speech, to underscore something is to call attention to it. If a worker sustained an injury on the job, for instance, the event would underscore the need for workplace safety. Underscore is also used to mean "emphasize." During a job interview, you want to underscore any experience that relates to the job you are applying for. ==For Ali, who was the topper of LUMS, failure to do well on the GRE underscores the difficulty of the exam. Mnemonic: When you underline a word or a sentence, it shows its significance. For instance, while writing an application, the subject line is underlined or underscores i.e. it is very important.

Superficiality

==জ্ঞানের/চিন্তা বা অনুভূতি গভীরতা অভাব; ভাসা ভাসা knowledge == lack of depth of knowledge,thought or feeling ==Anything superficial has to do with the surface of something. If you're judging a book by its cover, you're being superficial. People who worry too much about their clothes and hair may also be considered superficial. ==The word superficial has to do with appearances and the surface. If a car is in an accident, but it only has a few scratches, you could say it has superficial damage, because the important parts are OK. If you just glanced at a movie for a second, your opinion will be more superficial than someone who watched the whole thing closely. Superficial can have a negative flavor; calling someone superficial is saying that they are shallow and care too little about meaningful things. Since Ahmad's analytical essay gives only a superficial analysis of the argument, he only got a 3 out of 6 on the exam. Mnemonic: Superficial = super (highly) + fictional (imaginative, as fictional movies and stories). So if something looks very intelligent or smart, but actually its not then it is superficial.

Plod

==ঢিকিয়ে ঢিকিয়ে চলা; টেনে হিঁচড়ে চলা; কষ্টসহকারে থপথপ করিয়া চলা == the act of walking with a slow heavy style (as in when you are bored or tired) ==When you plod, you walk slowly, heavily, and deliberately. You might need to plod through the snow to get to the bus stop on time. ==Plod evokes a difficulty in walking — like when you trudge through mud or walk slowly up a steep hill. You might plod home at the end of a long day, or plod through an overgrown field on a hot afternoon. You can also use plod figuratively, to mean "work on something boring or monotonous." ==After watching the boring 3 hour long film at the cinema, Sarah plodded her way back to the car. ==Mnemonic: Plod sounds like IPOD; those who wear ipod walk slowly and heavily.

flaccid

==তুলতুলে; নড়বড়ে == lacking firmness; weak; ==If something is limp, loose, droopy, and wrinkly, you can call it flaccid, which rhymes with "acid." Think elephant skin, soggy asparagus, and the type of feeble handshakes frowned on in job interviews. ==If a politician's election campaign is flaccid, it will surprise no one that he only receives two votes — one from his grandmother and the other from someone who accidentally checked the wrong box on the ballot. ==In GRE, focus more on your flaccid area than strong one, this will help you attain maximum score. ==Mnemonic: It comes from flaw, also the word flabby which means the same thing weakness or flaws.

check

==দমন; কার্যদর্শন; প্রতিহত করা; ==an examination to test or ascertain accuracy, quality, or satisfactory condition. (a campaign calling for regular checks on gas appliances) ==examine (something) in order to determine its accuracy, quality, or condition, or to detect the presence of something.(customs officers have the right to check all luggage) ==having a pattern of small squares.(a blue check T-shirt) ==a crack or flaw in timber.(Sanded and rough sawn plywood will develop surface checks , especially when exposed to moisture and sunlight.) ==stop or slow down the progress of (something undesirable). (efforts were made to check the disease) == stop motion; curb or restrain ==During lectures on quant section, all students were checked as if they involved completely in what strategies were given to them. ==Mnemonic: We are familiar with the statements like, criminal checked all the places in the home, but couldn't find the money. But in GRE, check is as if police officer ordered me 'hands-up'. So he can check my equipments, whether I am a suicider. So here check means restrained, block or stop motion.

Prescient

==দূরদর্শী; পূর্বজ্ঞানসম্পন্ন == having or showing knowledge of events before they take place. ==a prescient warning ==To be prescient is to have foresight or foreknowledge. We can use this word to describe people themselves, or what they say or do at a given moment. ==You probably know that the Latin prefix pre- means "before," so you might be able to figure out that the word prescient, from the verb praescire, means to "know beforehand." People like economists, sports commentators, and political analysts often get tagged with this word, because it's part of their job to sift through the data and make predictions — and sometimes they get it right. And when they're not just lucky, we might say they're prescient. ==The prescient GRE instructor was one of the few to see which students were going to do well on the exam. ==Mnemonic: pre means before and scent comes from science. So before knowledge is spread to others, you know it first. It means you are prescient.

Dramatic

==নাটকীয়; আকর্ষণীয় বা অতিরঞ্জিত. ==emotional; sudden and extreme ==Dramatic means having to do with a play, as in "a dramatic production." It also means striking or exaggerated. ==Half an hour of exercise a day can have a dramatic effect on your physical well being. If you burst into tears when you get a B on a paper and wail, "Now I'm never going to get into college," you can be accused of being dramatic, which means you're acting out your reaction, or overly dramatic, which means your reaction is over the top. ==There was a dramatic increase in prices of some vegetables in Pakistan, and people describe this as govt. failure to administer. ==Mnemonic: drama is full of emotions. So dramatic means emotional.

pedestrian

==নীরস; পাদচারী;কল্পনাশক্তিরহিত == ordinary; dull; going on foot; unimaginative ==A pedestrian is someone traveling by foot. If you're walking, you might get angry at the drivers who don't stop so you can cross the street. But if you're driving, you might fight the urge to run over those annoying pedestrians! ==Pedestrian comes from the Latin pedester meaning "going on foot" but also "plain." As a noun, it's someone walking around — sidewalks are for pedestrians. As an adjective it means "lacking wit or imagination." If someone calls your new poem pedestrian, they mean it's dull. If you want to impress your friends while also making them feel worthless, mutter "these people are SO pedestrian," at a party, loud enough for everyone to hear. ==Vocabulary class without mnemonics looks to be pedestrian for the many students, that's why they usually don't take part in these classes. =="a pedestrian movie plot" ==Mnemonic: ==Pedestrian sounds like pedel.ie foot ==we know very well what is pedestal fans. So pedestrian is someone who travel by foot. Also this fan looks to be very awkward, that's why it usually use in villages, rather than big cities. That shows its another meaning 'boring'.

Mercurial

==পরিবর্তনশীল; তৎপর;চঁচল == (of a person) one who has unpredictable changes in mood and temperament. ==Mercurial describes someone whose mood or behavior is changeable and unpredictable, or someone who is clever, lively, and quick. With a mercurial teacher, you never know where you stand. ==A mercurial personality has the unpredictability associated with the god Mercury or, in astrology, is supposedly influenced by the planet. ==Ahmed's mercurial mood was the main reason behind his divorce. At one time he was very polite and the next moment he was furious for no reason. Mnemonics: Mercury in a thermometer quickly goes up if a person is sick and quickly comes down if not sick. So just like mercury going up and down, the mood of a person can be mercurial.

precedence

==পূর্বগামিতা; প্রাধান্য; অগ্রগণ্যতা == the condition of being more important; coming or occurring earlier in time. ==When you're stranded without food or water, the search for water should definitely take precedence over the search for food, since you'll die of dehydration long before you starve. When deciding where to seat people, restaurant owners give precedence to the famous and rich: making them happy will be good for business. Which things take precedence over others depends on what you think is more important. "Age before beauty," I always say. ==Ali's desire for a perfect GRE score took precedence over any other consideration in his life. ==Mnemonic: Precedence sounds like president. President is a very important person.

Iconoclast

==প্রতিমাচূর্ণকারী; সংস্কারের আক্রমণকারী;প্রতিমাপূজাবিরোধী ব্যক্তি == someone who attacks established beliefs or institutions. ==Are you always challenging the establishment? Or provoking popular thought by attacking traditions and institutions? Then you're definitely an iconoclast. ==To be called an iconoclast today is usually kind of cool — they're rugged individualists, bold thinkers who don't give a hoot what tradition calls for. ==an iconoclast was someone who destroyed religious sculptures and paintings. Ali is an iconoclast for wearing beach shorts and T-shirt to a formal marriage function. Mnemonics: Sounds like ICON (hero, ideal) + CLASH; So someone who clashes with icons is an iconoclast.

primed

==প্রধান; মুখ্য; সময়ে বয়সে পদমর্যাদা বা গুরুত্বে প্রথম == the most active or successful time of a person's life. == the period of greatest prosperity or productivity ==of first importance; main.(her prime concern is the well-being of the patient) ==a state or time of greatest strength, vigor, or success in a person's life.(you're in the prime of life) ==make (something) ready for use or action, in particular. prepare (someone) for a situation or task, typically by supplying them with relevant information. (the sentries had been primed to admit him without challenge) ==As a old man, Mr. Amir can make 1 door from wood in a day; during his primed age, he made four doors daily. ==Mnemonic: Just as prime minister, primed is something or someone having huge strength or power.

Antiquity

==প্রাচীনকালের লোকেরা; প্রাচীন যুগ ==the ancient past, especially the period before the Middle Ages.(the great civilizations of antiquity) ==great age.(a church of great antiquity) ==ancient times; very high age. ==f you find an antiquity, call a museum: you just found something very old. Antiquity can also mean the idea of oldness. ==The word antique should be a clue to the meaning of this word, which refers to things that are extremely old or ancient. This isn't grandparent old — this is really old, like hundreds or even thousands of years old. People also use this word to compare old ways of doing things to new ways: you could say an old-fashioned idea is an antiquity that goes against modernity (newer ideas and ways of doing things). Antiquity can also mean the time before the Middle Ages. ==Mnemonic: anties are old aged women, So antiquity must be something very old.

polarized

==প্রায় দুই পরস্পরবিরোধী বা বিসদৃশ অবস্থানের মনোযোগ কারণ ==দুই বিপরীত মেরুর বা প্রান্তের প্রতি আকৃষ্ট করান অথবা হওয়া ==cause to concentrate about two conflicting or contrasting positions. ===divide or cause to divide into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs.(the cultural sphere has polarized into two competing ideological positions) ==cause (something) to acquire polarity.(the electrode is polarized in aqueous solution) ==To polarize is to divide. Something that's been polarized has been split into two sides that are so different, it seems as though they're from opposite ends of the earth — like the North Pole and the South Pole. ==Political parties have long been polarized by different views and approaches to government. But you'll also find polarized soda devotees arguing over the merits of Coke vs. Pepsi. Any topic that is controversial can polarize a population, especially if the topic inspires either a fiercely "pro" or fiercely "con" reaction. Topics such as gun control and health care reform have been known to polarize Congress. ==he war against terrorism has polarised the nation of Pakistan; one says its our war, other claim it as the war of other nation imposed on us. ==Mnemonic: there are two poles of the earth: north pole and worth pole.So it's mean dividing into two opposite directions.

modish

==ফ্যাশান দুরস্ত ==conforming to the current fashion ==Something modish is fashionable and stylish. It's a-la-mode, or right on top of the latest look. In the 1970s, it was considered modish to wear bell bottoms. ==The word modish is a combination of the French mode meaning "fashion" and the suffix -ish meaning "very common." When something is modish, it's all the rage. A swanky restaurant where it's hard to get a table or a boutique selling the newest designer labels are considered modish, or in vogue. Open up the pages of Vogue and you'll be accosted with the latest modish looks. ==Mnemonic: It comes from model, which is fashion. So modish is current fashion or style. ==She always discarded all garments that were no longer modish, as she inclined to modern design and fashions only.

multifaceted

==বহুমুখী; ==having many aspects ("a multifaceted undertaking") ==Multifaceted means having many aspects or sides. Diamonds are usually cut to be multifaceted, that is, with many angled flat surfaces, because this increases their ability to reflect light. ==Since facet means "aspect," "side," or "face," multifaceted means "many aspects, sides, or faces." This can apply to jewels or other physical objects, like the eyes of a dragonfly, but it can also refer to complicated issues that have lots of contributing factors and generate more than two sides to an argument. A multifaceted person has many abilities, or a personality with many sides to it. ==In order to do well in quantitative comparison type questions in GRE, one should solve it through multifaceted analysis. Mnemonic: Multifaceted = multi (several) + facet (surfaces or appearance). So it must be something different angle or ways of analysis.

Sporadically

==বিক্ষিপ্তভাবে == repeating again and again but irregularly and without any predictable pattern. ==Something that happens sporadically doesn't occur with regularity, but rather periodically or occasionally. You might meet sporadically with your cousins, usually on minor holidays like Memorial Day or Flag Day. ==Imagine sowing seed by scattering it, and you'll get the hit-or-miss sense of sporadically. There is no pattern to the frequency of an event that occurs sporadically. Working sporadically is hard because you lack a steady income and never know when you'll be busy, but traveling sporadically can be fun. In the last few decades, Karachi has been subjected to sporadic terrorist bombings and political activism that has caused many people to flee the city. Mnemonic: Sporadic sounds like periodic - something that is periodic happens time and again.

polemical

==বিতর্কমূলক; মৌখিক আক্রমণ আক্রমনাত্মক; ঝগড়াটে == aggressive in verbal attack; disputatious ==The adjective polemical describes something related to an argument or controversy. To keep the peace, avoid discussing politics at Thanksgiving, which usually deteriorates into a polemical argument with Uncle Bob. Better stick to football or apple versus pumpkin pie. == When Sarah arrived home in the middle of the night, her parents launched a polemical on her for arriving so late.. Mnemonic: Polemical = polio; Polio project is under dispute or controversial by TTP. Because they are in doubt whether its a conspiracy against Pakistan to reduce its population. So Polemical must means controversial or disputable.

unreceptive

==বিতাড়ক; অরূচিকর ==not receptive; repellent ==able to repel a particular thing; impervious to a particular substance.(water-repellent nylon) ==In modern societies people are unreceptive to dictatorship, because they want freedom of work. ==Mnemonic: In marriage ceremonies, many persons can be seen as receptive, but few are unreceptive because of their shyness. So unreceptive must means unwelcoming. ==

Precariously

==বিপজ্জনক; ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ; দুর্ঘটনার সম্ভাবনাযুক্ত == dangerous ==If something is happening or positioned precariously, it's in danger. A glass could be precariously balanced on the edge of a table. ==If something is on the verge of danger, then the word precariously fits. You're living precariously if you jump up and down on a lake that's not totally frozen. In your late teens, you're precariously close to the brink of adulthood. When you have one college class left, you're precariously close to having to find a job. Some people like living precariously: they enjoy danger. Other people just get stressed out and prefer to live carefully. ==Taking the GRE exam without prior sleep and a sumptuous meal can have precarious outcomes. ==Mnemonic: precarious = pre + car + ious. Pre means before something (like before preparation) So driving a car before preparation is precarious. Which means dangerous

vexation

==বিরক্তিকর বিষয় বা বস্তু; বিরক্ত করা ==to something that worries or annoys you ==the state of being annoyed, frustrated, or worried. ==Vexation is both something that causes annoyance and the state of mind that results from being annoyed. ===Vexation can also refer to something that causes anxiety and worry more than annoyance. When the parents of the kid you're babysitting are two hours late to return and aren't answering their phones, that could be a vexation. ==The test-taker next to you tapping her pencil is a vexation. You breaking her pencil in half makes her feel vexation. ==The repeated vexations about vocabulary guaranteed that she wouldn't get well preparation ==Mnemonic: As a childhood, whenever you suffered injury,you often used vex(medicine used on the damaged skin); so its something that annoys you.

Egregious

==বিশিষ্ট; গুরুতর ==extremely bad to such an extent that it becomes shocking ==Something that is egregious stands out, but not in a good way — it means "really bad or offensive." If you make an egregious error during a championship soccer match, your coach might bench you for the rest of the game. ==The president's abuse of power was so egregious that even his own family deserted him and asked the international courts to take action against him. Mnemonic: Egregious has the word GRE in it; in Pakistan we get shockingly bad grades in GRE.

construe

==বিশ্লেষণ করা; বিশেষভাবে বোঝা; ব্যাখ্যা করা ====explain; interpret; ==interpret (a word or action) in a particular way. ==his words could hardly be construed as an apology. ==If you interpret something or make sense of it, you construe its meaning. If the new girl in your class asks to sit with you at lunch, you could construe that she wants to be friends. You can never have too many friends! ==To make an assumption based on evidence is to construe. You could construe that eating an entire box of cookies might make you feel a bit sick. And you might not want to eat them again for a very long time. The opposite of construe is misconstrue, which means to falsely or wrongly interpret. If you get a poor grade on an essay, you shouldn't construe that your teacher dislikes you. If you do, you misconstrue your work for his feelings. ==If I construe your indifference correctly, you are not taking GRE seriously. ==Mnemonic: == construe = (cons)ider it is (true)...so we interpret something by ourselves == if i construe your message correctly... ==Con means together believe, and true is what we believe as true, which is under stud. So construe means interpret, but this interpretation may be right or wrong. When its wrong it will be misconstrue.

Inscrutability

==বুঝা কঠিন =difficult to understand =="the inscrutability of the future" ==The topic of integers & probability in GRE is usually inscrutable for many students, because these topics are too difficult to understand. ==Mnemonic: Questions like inscribed circle or inscribe triangles are always very tough which is not easy to understand that how to solve it. So inscrutability is something beyond understanding.

defiant

==বেপরোয়া; দ্বন্দ্বার্থ সম্মুখীন ==noncompliant ==brought up to be aggressive and defiant ==a defiant attitude ==boldly resisting authority or an opposing force ==Have you ever seen a picture of a protester who is about to be carried off by police but is still shouting or resisting, fighting to the bitter end? That person is defiant. Someone who is defiant is bold, even in the face of defeat. ==A defiant person is usually fighting a powerful enemy. People who protest in countries controlled by dictators are defiant. Rosa Parks was defiant when she refused to give up her seat on the bus, even though the law at that time dictated that black people had to stand when whites needed a seat. Small children are defiant too, sometimes over nothing more than a request to share their toys. ==Mnemonic: --defy - ryhming --defy + ant which is defending himself...

pervasive

==ব্যাপ্তিশিীল; অনুপ্রবেশপ্রবণ ==spreading or spread throughout; everywhere ==When something is pervasive, it's everywhere. Common things are pervasive — like greed and cheap perfume. == Playing video games is pervasive among kids. Talking about the weather is pervasive among adults. Ideas, diseases, habits, and all sorts of things can be pervasive. If you're sick of seeing something because you're seeing it again and again, it must be pervasive. ==After getting perfect score in GRE, this news was so pervasive everywhere that he offered admissions from some Pakistani universities as well even before applying. Mnemonic: Advertisement of pervaaz fan, some years ago, was very famous; under the title of pervaaz fan ala mayaar, sb se acha shaan dar. Its very famous in those days, so pervasive means universally known, Or which is everywhere.

Cerebral

==মস্তিষ্কসংক্রান্ত; আবেগ বদলে গোয়েন্দা জড়িত; কিছু মস্তিষ্কের সাথে সম্পর্কিত ==involving intelligence rather than emotions, something related to brain == ==If you are a cerebral person, no one would ever call you a drama queen. You make decisions using your intelligence and cold, hard facts, instead of your emotions. =="cerebral hemisphere"=="cerebral activity" =="a cerebral approach to the problem" =="cerebral drama" Reading books improves your cerebral activities; hence by reading on a daily basis you are likely to improve your GRE score. Mnemonic: Cerebral = CereBRAINal

Deviously

==মানুষের সঙ্গে প্রতারণা করতে ইচ্ছুক ==willing to lie and trick people. =="he got the promotion by behaving deviously" =For Imran Khan, many politicians in parliament are dishonest and devious politician; when one politician makes allegation against the other politician, also makes allegation against that politician; no one is there to defend himself, because they are devious. ==Mnemonics: someone who tends to device many plans to deceive others, it is devious. It also means when a manager device system in a company, so which show its another meaning manage. ==In the movie Kick Devi Lal shing is a deviously person

Frugal

==মিতব্যয়ী; হিসাবী; ==someone who does not spend a lot of money but spends it wisely. ==A person who lives simply and economically can be called frugal. Buying clothes at a consignment shop would be considered frugal. Not getting your mom a gift for her birthday — that's just cheap. ==Thrifty, spartan, and prudent are synonyms for frugal, a word that often has positive connotations when used to describe a person who lives a simple life. "The question for retailers is whether shoppers will remain frugal or slowly resume their old spending habits whenever they get more money in their pockets," wrote The Wall Street Journal. You might also speak of "a frugal meal" — a very plain, cheap one ==People mistook Ahmed's frugality as a sign of miserliness. However Ahmed was simply careful in his spending. ==Mnemonics: Frugal sounds like Few + Girl. So if you have few girl friends it will be very economical on your pocket

You know them by their complete unwillingness to accept any belief other than their own. ==If you're familiar with the noun "doctrine" — a formal idea or system of belief — you'll have no problem with the adjective doctrinaire. It's a just a way of describing a person or group of people who are set in their ways. The Pope and his cardinals are unfailingly doctrinaire: they won't allow any ideas beyond those they've already approved. Parents can start out doctrinaire, but children soon force them to be flexible in how they bring them up. ==Mr. chief justice is such a doctrinaire person that he never compromise on the sentences he makes for terrorists. ==Mnemonic: doctrinaire= doctrine (rules that will not change); so doctrinaire is one who make some decision or believe, that he will never change it.

Euphoria

==রমরমা; কুশল এবং আনন্দ-চঞ্চল অবস্থা == a feeling of extreme excitement and happiness ==Use euphoria to describe a feeling of great happiness and well-being, but know that euphoria often more than that--it's unusually, crazy happy, over the top. ==Euphoria can even be classified as a mental illness. The earliest use of euphoria was to describe the relief provided by a medical procedure. ==Ahmad was euphoric after he got an admission at Harvard University with full scholarship. --Mnemonic: You feel extremely excited while listening to the music band Euphoria.

facetious

==রসিক; ইয়ারকিপূর্ণ ==treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.(You learn very soon never to tell a joke or make a facetious remark.) ==If someone is being facetious they're being playful with an edge. A knock-knock joke isn't facetious, but if you call it the most advanced form of comedy, you're probably being facetious. ==The word facetious comes from the French facétie for "joke," and has come to describe a joke with a little drop of sarcasm. It used to imply "funny and witty," as in, "Oh what a facetious chap!" But now it has taken on a darker tone, like a joke that's not quite appropriate. Whether appreciated or not, facetious things are not for real. ==The word facetious describes something you don't take seriously. Remove the middle "e," and factious describes a dissenting group. And finally there's fatuous, which is a fancy way to say dumb. ==Someone who is facetious (fuh-see-shus) is only joking. If you tell your mom you want Brussels sprouts with every meal, make sure it's clear you're being facetious if you actually don't like Barbie cabbage. Facetious remarks are sometimes inappropriate too. == joking (often inappropriately); unserious; humorous ==Facetious remarks about a classmate are inappropriate at the serious moment when you got excellent score in GRE but you classmate got very poor score. ==Mnemonic: someone who makes funny faces Facetious>>>Face is not Serious ==The word facetious describes something you don't take seriously. Remove the middle "e," and factious describes a dissenting group. And finally there's fatuous, which is a fancy way to say dumb. ==A factious (fak-shus) group disagrees with the mainstream and breaks off into a smaller group of angry rebels. A factious group doesn't have to be angry, but it helps. It's a word often used in politics -- in fact, it comes from the Latin factionem for "political party." Factious issues divide people. Examples: "It was the arbitrary invention of a particular time and place — the factious and violent medieval church." (Time) ==The word fatuous (fah-chus) means silly, foolish, and maybe a little bit smug. In a debate, you might call your opponent's response fatuous. Here are examples: "They realized then what a silly, fatuous thing it was to do, going out and killing rare birds." (Scientific American) "Not to mention his fatuous conflation of Marxism, Freemasonry and Judaism." (Salon) Don't take anything facetious on its face because it's not serious. Reserve factious for factions. And fatuous? Totally foolish

arcane

==রহস্যময়; গোপনীয় ==secret; mysterious; known only to the initiated ==Something arcane is understood or known by only a few people. Almost everyone knows the basics of baseball, but only an elite few possess the arcane knowledge of its history that marks the true fan. ==A near synonym is esoteric, as in remote information or knowledge. Experts in academic fields often show off the depth of their knowledge by mentioning some arcane and esoteric fact as if it was common for everyone to know. The origin of arcane is Latin arcānus "secret, closed," from arca "a chest, box." Arcana (singular arcanum) are pieces of mysterious knowledge or information. ==Many tricky questions of quant were arcane to us but was clear to the one who start preparation of GRE well before time. Mnemonic:==Arcane==Secret and mysterious things golo ka ar(আর) কানে বলতে হয়। arcane means secret. == Only few people know how to use big cranes(looks like arcane). So arcane is something which is known to only few people. A secrete thing, or a mystery.

Coalesce

==সমবেত হত্তয়া; সংযুক্ত হওয়া ====combine; fuse ==Waiting for a plan to come together? You're waiting for it to coalesce. Coalesce is when different elements of something join together and become one. ==In coalesce, you see co-, which should tell you the word means "together." The other half of the word comes from alescere, a Latin verb meaning "to grow up." So if you are trying to start up a photography club at school, once you have an advisor, some interested students and support from the administration, things will be coalescing or growing together. Another way to remember that? An adolescent is one who is growing. A lot! ==Some top ranked universities coalesced, and formed ivy league. Mnemonic: comes from coalition, like coalition among political parties. So it means fusion or combining. ==Sounds like coil which is made by different element.

judicious

==সুবিচারপূর্ণ; বিচক্ষণ; জ্ঞানী == exercise of good judgment or common sense in practical matters; wise. ==The judicious strategy to attempt the SAT or GRE test results highest score. ==having, showing, or done with good judgment or sense. (the efficient and judicious use of pesticides) ==marked by the exercise of good judgment or common sense in practical matters("judicious use of one's money") ==If you're judicious, you've got a good head on your shoulders and make good decisions. Humpty Dumpty's decision to sit on a wall? NOT judicious. ==As its sound implies, judicious comes from the same Latin word from which we get judge and judiciary, and not surprisingly a judicious decision is one that only comes after all sides have been weighed up and opposing points of view taken into consideration. Judicious decisions are never split-second decisions. =Mnemonic: judi+cious--- having JUDgement qualities

Crestfallen

==হতাশ; বিষণ্ণ; বিমর্ষ ==dejected, sad and disappointed. ==If you are crestfallen, you are dark, depressed, and down in the dumps. You are in need of a pep talk, or at least a hug. ==The Pakistani cricket team and the entire nation was crestfallen after Pakistan lost a match that they were about to win. ==Mnemonic: Crest is the top of the hill.
