Question: 15

15. MISCONSTRUED

  • A. followed directions
  • B. led astray
  • C. acting to supervise
  • D. interpreted erroneously

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The correct answer is (D). To MISCONSTRUE is to misinterpret. "Word arithmetic" works well with this synonym question. The prefix "mis" means wrong; the root is the same root as "construct," so to misconstrue is to build up wrong in one's mind.
