This is the Vocab24 daily quiz of 12 July 2026, the same 7 questions the app served that day, on the day's vocabulary and editorial. One mark for a right answer, minus 0.25 for a wrong one; the explanation opens as soon as you tap.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
VICEROY
Explanation: A viceroy is a person appointed to govern a country or province on behalf of a sovereign; therefore, Regent is the best synonym. A subject and a citizen are governed by an authority, while a commoner is an ordinary person without a special governing position. Hence, these alternatives do not express the meaning of viceroy.
Out of the given alternatives select the alternative which best expresses the meaning of given word.
TEETER
Explanation: Teeter means to move or balance unsteadily as if one is about to fall, so Wobble is the most appropriate synonym. Secure, stabilize, and balance suggest firmness or steadiness and are therefore opposite in sense to teeter. Thus, option (a) correctly expresses the meaning of the given word.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
NABOB
Explanation: A nabob is a wealthy, powerful, or influential person, whereas a pauper is a person without wealth; therefore, Pauper is the correct antonym. Magnate and tycoon refer to wealthy and influential persons, while aristocrat also suggests a person of high social position. These options are related to the meaning of nabob rather than being its opposites.
Out of the given alternatives select the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
FANCIFUL
Explanation: Fanciful describes something imaginative and unusual but often unrealistic or unlikely to be true; therefore, Realistic is its best opposite. Whimsical, imaginative, and fantastic are all associated with imagination and unusual ideas, so they support the meaning of fanciful instead of opposing it.
