I prepared this one for my own vocabulary from Dawn in a table format. Here I am sharing it by converting it into image. I used "Wordweb" dictionary: American English. I hope this will help members.

when we were kids , we always used to get home work as "use the following words in your own sentences" this strategy works wonderfully , use daily 10 to 5 words in your own sentences or make a small story using those words , it will not only help you to memories the vocabulary but enhance your writing skills too .. good luck

Quote:
1. Firstly try to understand proper meaning of vocab through a dictionary. 2. Then look over suffix, prefix, noun, verb, syn, etc. It ll introduce other related vocabs too. 3. Prepare flash cards by your own. Write vocab and it's absolute meaning on other side. By preparing own flash cards, vocab ll be properly reflect through your mind. 4. Put the vocab in different sentences everytime that you never get confused about vocab whether it's in any form noun, verb, adverb etc. Best of luck!!

The action or process of intervening. 2. Interference by a country in another's affairs. plight /plīt/ Noun A dangerous, difficult, or otherwise unfortunate situation: "the plight of poor children".

Declare one's public approval or support of. 2. Recommend (a product) in an advertisement To second someone is to publicly express support for a proposal he has made. Since he is the first to raise the idea, you are the second to support it - hence you "second" him or his idea. mil•i•tate /ˈmiləˌtāt/ Verb (of a fact or circumstance) Be a powerful or conclusive factor in preventing. Synonyms fight - combat Idiom in a fix Definition to have problems Examples They've found out about his other job. He's in a fix now.

Answer: Seems rather obvious on this one. Bearing is tolerating, with me is I don't want to suffer alone. Hence suffer along with me while I suffer also. The meaning is a bit more broad than suffer with me while I also suffer. It is closer to asking for patience. Example: A customer service rep on phone with a customer might say, "Please bear with me while I look up that information for you."
