Compulsive, indignant and ostentatious

This test wants to teach you three adjectives that appear frequently in books.

indignant = feeling or showing anger and surprise because you think that you have been treated unfairly
Example:
Sally was indignant that her neighbour received better marks in the test although having copied from her.

Compulsive = (of behaviour) that is difficult to stop or control
Example: compulsive eating/spending/gambling

Ostentatious =
1) showing your wealth or status in a way that is intended to impress people
Example: He parked his Ferrari ostentatiously almost in the middle of the street so everyone would notice it.

2) (of an action) done in a very obvious way so that people will notice it
Example: He let out an ostentatious sigh.
