<p>Regale: Entertain</p>
<p>A)extol: praise
B)tempt: repel</p>
<p>I didnt know what regale meant. I knew it had to mean either entertaining or boring. </p>
<p>Without knowing what regale meant, was the only thing I could have done to just guess between the 2?</p>
<p>Well, yeah. Although you could have guessed at what regale nearly means, because its root word - reg (you probably know what regal means) - deals with kings/royalty.</p>
<p>no i didnt know what regal means.</p>
<p>lol, I have very little confidence in my vocab. Although I can score 660-740 on my Verbal, its mostly due to very good critical reading.</p>
<p>ummm if you knew it either meant entertain or bore (you said entertaining or boring, but it has to be a verb since all the answer choices are verbs), then extol is to praise a lot, and entertain is to entertain .. a lot. and what would your sentence be if it was bore? something like ...to entertain is to keep from becoming bored? well theres like no way you can make it fit if it meant bored..yea..did that make sense?</p>
<p>I knew extol meant to highly praise. Tempt is the direct opposite of repel. I was thinking regale either has similiar or totally opposite meaning to entertain.</p>
<p>I didnt actually try to fit a sentence in there. Should I have tried to do that? I feel like theres just too many variations to try to do it on feeling out the sentence.</p>
<p>omg, i was doing the EXACT same analogy tonight, and I got (A). I couldn't find a relationship for tempt:repel, so it couldn't have been right in my opinion. i don't know....just kinda thought it out...</p>
