The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Where she started
An ordinary beginning.
Amreli, in Gujarat, and a farmer's family. The passage places her in an ordinary town with ordinary means before anything else happens.
What she noticed as a child
She wanted the chalk.
Other children were drawing in the sand and picking wild flowers. She asked herself what kept her out of it, and wanted a slate to draw on herself.
What a synonym is
Nearly, not exactly.
A word with nearly the same meaning as another. Small and tiny both mean not large, and tiny means it more strongly.
Why the exercise gives you one
Read the sentence.
Task on its own might suggest several words. The sentence about Science homework is what tells you it means work here.
The extra synonyms
Two fit nothing.
The list contains two words that match none of the five. Anybody matching by guesswork will be left holding them.

Listen, Ask, Make: Working with Embroidery
Listening for a named fact rather than a likely one, asking a question with the right tone, and making something from what you already have before writing about it.
- In a circle the correct option task, both choices are usually true of embroidery in general.
- Only one of them was named by the speaker, and that is the one you circle.
- Running stitch is a real stitch, which is exactly why it makes a good wrong option.
