It explains quiz expectations: pronounce, spell, define, and use each word with contextual clues, while also requiring sentences that follow specified syntactical patterns. The material outlines definition rules, including using multiple synonyms, matching part of speech with appropriate noun phrases, and avoiding circular definitions.

There are two reasons we do this:  \n􀂾 Learn to recognize syntactical patterns.  \n􀂾 Improve personal style: by being able to use a variety of sentence types, you will improve your sentence fluency and ability to write emphatic prose.  \nSee Appendix A for the list of types, explanations, and examples.  \n􀁸 I suggest you know the part of speech; if the word functions equally as two parts of speech (a noun and a verb, for example) know the meanings for each.  \nDefining words:  \n􀂾 You may use synonyms to define, but you need at least three of them.  \n􀂾 You must use a definition that makes sense to you.  \n􀂾 Your definition should “match” the part of speech. For example if the word is din, a noun, the definition would not be “noisy,” which would be a definition for an adjective. Instead write, a noise, a clamor. Use noun phrases to define nouns.  \n􀂾 You may not define a word using the word.  \n􀂾 I suggest using The American Heritage Dictionary, college version.  \n􀁸 When you write your sentences, you may use various forms of the word: adjective, adverb, or any verb tense, provided you use the form correctly.  \n􀁸 You will lose points for your sentence for the following reasons:  \n􀂾 A comma splice, a fragment, a run on, a subject-verb agreement error, or any other serious grammatical error.  \n􀂾 You convert the word to a part of speech that is not correct; for example, you try to make a noun serve as a verb.  \n􀂾 You do not follow sentence pattern as indicated.  \n􀂾 You do not provide sufficient context clues.  \n􀂾 The sentence is awkward and difficult to understand.  \n􀂾 The sentence makes no sense  \n􀁸 You should use this master list as your definition guide and to keep track of which words to study.  \n􀁸 This list will be used both semesters; don’t lose it! You do not hand it in.  \n􀁸 Please also consult the appendices at the end of this list for more on:  \n􀂾 Sentence patterns and examples  \n􀂾 Transitive vs. intransitive verbs  \n􀂾 Notes to AP students on vocabulary quizzes  \n􀂾 List of subordinating conjunctions  \nList 1: Sentence Pattern: complex sentence  \n1. brazen  \n2. compunction  \n3. din  \n4. edict  \n5. indiscretion  \n6. perquisites  \n7. sepulcher  \n8. suppliant  \n9. tumult  \n10. marauding  \nList 2: Sentence Pattern: compound sentence 11. admonish  \n12. akimbo  \n13. lassitude  \n14. licentious  \n15. muse (noun and verb)  \n16. pecuniary  \n17. plight  \n18. presumptuous  \n19. subversive  \n20. vacuous  \nList 3: Sentence Pattern: compound-complex sentence  \n21. avocation  \n22. callous  \n23. capricious  \n24. disparity  \n25. efficacy  \n26. epistle  \n27. hospice  \n28. impetus  \n29. moribund  \n30. vacillate  \n\n| List 4: Sentence Pattern: loose sentence\u003Cbr>31. akin\u003Cbr>32. corroborate\u003Cbr>33. inexorable\u003Cbr>34. insipid\u003Cbr>35. nefarious\u003Cbr>36. physiognomy\u003Cbr>37. retinue\u003Cbr>38. suppliant\u003Cbr>39. tedium\u003Cbr>40. torrid |\n| --- |\n| List 5: Sentence Pattern: periodic sentence\u003Cbr>41. affront\u003Cbr>42. blasé\u003Cbr>43. cajole\u003Cbr>44. choleric\u003Cbr>45. encumber\u003Cbr>46. feckless\u003Cbr>47. impasse\u003Cbr>48. indolent\u003Cbr>49. lugubrious\u003Cbr>50. ribald |\n\nList 6: Sentence Pattern: balanced sentence  \n51. adulation  \n52. censure  \n53. dissemble  \n54. dissimulation  \n55. droll  \n56. expectorate  \n57. palpate  \n58. peremptory  \n59. pusillanimous  \n60. surfeit  \nList 7: Sentence Pattern: chiasmus  \n61. allay  \n62. capacious  \n63. didactic  \n64. diurnal  \n65. ignominious  \n66. mitigate  \n67. palpitate  \n68. phlegmatic  \n69. propitious  \n70. prostrate  \nList 8: Sentence Pattern: asyndeton  \n71. acquiesce  \n72. amity  \n73. arduous  \n74. gestalt  \n75. inundate  \n76. perjury  \n77. perspicuity  \n78. preposterous  \n79. trepidation  \n80. voluble  \n\n| List 9: Sentence Pat","cbCaibgDYYrjLtL9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibgDYYrjLtL9","pdf",286292,15,"English","# Quiz expectations\n## Sentence pattern requirements\n## Vocabulary definition rules\n## Grammar and scoring guidelines\n# Master word list by sentence pattern\n## Complex sentence\n## Compound sentence\n## Compound-complex sentence\n## Loose sentence\n## Periodic sentence\n## Balanced sentence\n## Chiasmus\n## Asyndeton\n## Polysyndeton\n## Anaphora\n## Epistrophe\n## Parallel structure","[{\"question\":\"How are AP vocabulary quiz questions structured?\",\"answer\":\"Students spell the pronounced word, define it, and use it in a sentence with contextual clues that further clarify meaning.
