Passage2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

The world perceives people with rich vocabularies to be more creative, more intelligent. People with larger vocabularies get hired quicker and promoted faster. So big winners use rich, full words, but they. never sound inappropriate. The phrases slide gracefully of their tongues to enrich their conversation. The words fit Big players choose words to match their personalities and their points with the same care as they choose their ties or their blouses.

The startling good news is that the difference between a respected vocabulary and: a mundane one lies in only about fifty words! You don't need much to sound like a big winner, A mere few dozen wonderful words will give everyone the impression that you have an original and creative mind.

[(66)She carried the garbage down to the street every morning and carried up the water, stopping at every landing to catch her breath. ]And, dressed like a poor woman of the streets, she went to the grocer, the butcher, and the fruit vender, carrying her basket on her arm, bargaining, shouting, and defending every sou which she had to spend on food.

[(67)Each month they had to pay of some old debts. renew others and make some new ones.]
