rudy knew that he had heard the word auspicious before and vaguely understood

could he use the word in a sentence
submit
work it out
not feeling ready yet? these can help:
identify coordinating conjunctions
use the correct pair of correlative
use parallel structure

Explanation:

The sentence uses the correlative conjunction pair "neither...nor", which requires parallel grammatical structure. The first part after "neither" is "think of a synonym" (a base verb phrase), so the part after "nor" must match this structure with a base verb form, not an inverted clause.

Answer:
