" What are Jasper and Emmett betting about, and what does "ramifications" mean?2.EclipseVocab Challenge #2: "They're all dying to see the inside of thereclusiveCullens' mystery house." Who said this, who is the speaker referring to, and what does "reclusive" mean?3.EclipseVocab Challenge #3: "In Aro's head he saw me at his one side and Alice at his other. The present and the future, virtualomniscience." Who said this, why would Aro be virtually omniscient, and what does "omniscience" mean?4.The back cover ofDefining Eclipseasks whether Jacob will "win Bella's heart or be leftunrequited,petulant, andforlorn?" What do you think, should Jacob win Bella's heart, and what do "unrequited," "petulant," and "forlorn" mean?5.MTV had this to say about theDefining Twilightseries, “Thanks to a new vocabulary workbook [Defining Twilight] ... the Cullen coven can help you master the intricacies of the English language.” We agree! Decide whichEclipsecharacter is best described by each of the following words:A) Prescient        1) JacobB) Churlish          2) AliceC) Plaintive         3) RosalieSolutions:1.Jasper and Emmett are betting about how many times Bella, as a newborn vampire, will slip from her "vegetarian" lifestyle. "Ramifications" means "consequences" or "implications."2.Edward. He is referring to the guests of Bella, Alice, and Edward's graduation party. "Reclusive" means "solitary."3.Edward. If Aro could hear thoughts, as Edward can, and see the future, as Alice can, he would be virtually all-knowing. "Omniscience" means "the state of knowing everything."4.The answer to this one depends on whether you are Team Edward or Team Jacob! "Unrequited" means "unreciprocated," "petulant" means "irritable," and "forlorn" means "sad and lonely."5."Prescient" means "able to predict the future" which best fits Alice. "Plaintive" means "sad" and best fits Jacob, at least at the end of the book. "Churlish" means "rude" and best fits Rosalie. Use the process of elimination; Rosalie is not always rude, but she's certainly rude more often than is Alice or Jacob.
