I hav studied some good books (Like Exploring the World of English) but can find only 50% of above so any senior member can suggest that from which book they hav taken these words or suggest that from where we can search and learn this type of words. And also please use these words in sentences and paste here below. Your co-operation will be highly appreciated.

@ zaib

Sometimes it is difficult to get all the things in books. It is not a piece of cake. U have to go around and search every where. This sort of pair of words are not available in a single book, u need to augment ur vocablary for the sake of attempting pairs of words in a best way. Use GRE books and always try to use right spellings of words.

All d best
Regards
