Word Power

Put your vocabulary skills to the test with this witty and engaging book. Improve Your Word Power is primarily a collection of multiple-choice challenges in which the reader is asked to decide which definition of a given word is correct. But it's actually so much more than that. Each topic is themed – from words borrowed from French to words about colours; words from Shakespeare to words that sound alike – and the answers are wonderfully informative and accessible, each giving readers the chance to say 'Gosh! I didn't know that!' even with quite familiar words. Interspersed throughout are boxes that feature odd definitions, confusable words and fun facts that make the language come to life.

A collection of Word Power quizzes and other fun language and grammar facts that will appeal to word nerds, knowledge hunters, and students of all ages.

Want to feel smarter? Want to have the perfect quip at the tip of your tongue? Like the successful first volume in the series, Use Your Words, Volume 2 combines Word Power Quizzes and Quotable Quotes from Reader's Digest, America's Most Popular Magazine so you can do just that!
