    1) ACT Vocabulary Test #8

    Maribel never wanted to be a RECLUSE and certainly never expected to live in SECLUSION. After her parents died, A CONFIDANT, an uncle she had trusted a long time, turned out to be a PERFIDIOUS man. He sent her to a CLOISTER with a fraction of her DOWRY. In complete defiance of honesty, to OCCUDE the original intent of a legal document written by her parents, he forged a signed AFFIDAVIT stating he had both authority and permission for her care as a FIDUCIARY responsible for all monetary transactions.

    A cousin could not CONDONE such an unjust situation. He composed an ANECDOTE for the local newspaper identifying corruption. The perfidious uncle then faced EXTRADITION for his malicious conduct.
