Vocabulary Quiz for Word Nerds: March 2013

wondrous memeWelcome to Wondrous Words Wednesday, a fun meme hosted by Kathy at Bermuda Onion.  Hop over to Kathy’s blog to find links to all kinds of fun words.

I’m taking a different spin this week.   Instead of a Word Nerd Workout, I’m challenging you to a Word Nerd 5K!  Everyone who answers all five questions correctly will be entered into a drawing.  The winner will receive a gift card from Barnes and Noble and “link love” from me. (Translation: I’ll post to Twitter, Facebook, and Google + about your word nerdy prowess!)

Ready?  Let’s get that brain running.  I based all questions on previous vocab posts here at my blog.  You can consult my Word Nerdy Words page for help.

  5. Choose the best answer; when two people collude, that means they:
    1. train together

Good luck and thanks for “running” with me today!  I will accept comments through Tuesday, April 2, and I’ll announce the winner in next Wednesday’s post.
