RE: Vocab-ability Prefix–271 (contra__, counter__ = against, opposing) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

  1. Contradict:
    Most people will contradict the words they say with the actions they do.

  2. Controversy:
    Harry was the talk of the controversy after videos of him were mailed into the local news station.

  3. Contrary:
    Leaving the station, a ghost-filled place, Trilicantor, contrary to his normal way home, take the A train after he met up with Greg for lunch.

  4. Counteract:
    If I want to continue drinking alcohol but not get drunk, what substance will counteract the effects of alcohol?

  5. Counterproductive:
    Some people believe that if they take one day of rest, they will be counterproductive.

Sort:  

Good work!

As for your requested substance, I've heard that cocaine works very well to keep you alert, awake, and engaged. In fact, it ends up working toooooo well. Please avoid, and just enjoy getting drunk.

Haha. When I wrote that I was picturing food. When I told a person that I may need to stay away from certain foods because of the lectin, they recommended I take pills. I then said, "Why not cut out the foods causing the issue instead of doing something that will do more harm to my body?' :-0
