Question

7 multiple choice 5 points the books we read in this class are too ____ they dont engage my emotions at all. cerebral circuitous circumlocution cherish 8 multiple choice 5 points the professors habit of speaking in ____s made it difficult to follow his lectures. circumlocution cerebral cherish circuitous 9 multiple choice 5 points

Explanation:

1. For the first question, "cerebral" means intellectual or related to the mind, and since the books don't engage emotions, they are overly intellectual. "Circuitous" means round - about, "circumlocution" is a noun (not applicable here grammatically), and "cherish" is a verb.
2. For the second question, "circumlocution" refers to the use of indirect and wordy language, which would make it hard to follow a lecture. "Cerebral" is about the mind, "cherish" is a verb, and "circuitous" is more about a physical or metaphorical path being round - about.

Answer:

1. A. cerebral
2. A. circumlocution
