    Reluctant, insecure, superstitious


    The three adjectives of the title appear frequently in books!

     

    and you can enrich your vocabulary by learning them!

     

    reluctant = hesitating before doing something because you do not want to do it or because you are not sure that it is the right thing to do.

    Example :

    I only lend my rubber reluctantly, because I have only one.

     

    insecure = not confident about yourself or your relationships with other people.

    Example:

    Usually preferring silence and solitude, I felt very insecure in this disco with all these people making so much noise.

     

    superstitious = believing in superstitions.

    superstition = the belief that particular events happen in a way that cannot be explained by reason or science; the belief that particular events bring good or bad luck.

    Example:

    Superstitious as Sally is, she doesn't work on the 13th day of a month because she believes that all her efforts will fail on such a day.

     

    In the following test, make the correct choice among the three adjectives!

    Good luck!
