Question

Which of the following is an example of passive vocabulary?

• A. Book
• B. Chair
• C. Magnanimous
• D. Run

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Magnanimous

Passive vocabulary consists of words that a person recognizes and understands but does not frequently use in everyday speech or writing.

• "Magnanimous" (meaning generous or forgiving) is a less commonly used word. Many people understand it when they read or hear it, but they do not use it often in conversation.
