Answer 1

Macey,

You students really put in some tall orders for us tutors here! The best thing any tutor could do for you is define the words and help get you thinking about them.

Adversity = Difficulties/Challenges

Benevolent = Good/Generous

Censure = Harsh criticism

Diligent = Hard working

Emulate = Copy

Frugal = Cheap/stingy

Inevitable = Definitely going to happen/Unstoppable

Longevity = The quality of living long/lasting long

Pretentious = Showy/Flashy

Resilient = Tough/Hardy

Subtle = Delicate/Understated

Vindicate = Prove right

I couldn't write your paragraph for you, of course. But imagine a good, hard working employee working for a cheap boss. Having a cheap boss would probably be a difficulty. But then, somebody harshly rebukes this boss! And this boss decides to change his ways, and become more like the good employee.

A story like this could easily use up quite a few of your vocabulary words.

Hope this helps! :)
