Vocabulary Word Story-Reading Passage:
Did you know that even in a CONFIDENTIAL memo a TRAITOR could RENDER a secret to someone else? Tonight, at local college, he will DISCLOSE the FORECLOSURE of an EXCLUSIVE house that was part of an ENDOWMENT the school had received. Many alumni will call the classmate that revealed the secret an INFIDEL. His premature announcement is not a PARDONABLE error. It could easily PRECLUDE the BONA FIDE interest from a legitimate buyer. The INFIDEL most likely is a DEFIANT realtor who used very bad judgment!
