Words with Multiple Meanings 2

Welcome to the second in this series of 11+ Verbal Reasoning quizzes. If you have already played the first, then you’ll know that we are looking for words which have more than one meaning. Can you choose a word which means the same as four others, even if those four do not mean the same thing?

Think of the word ‘palm’. Of course, you know what it means, don’t you? It can, in fact, mean several things:

• The front of the hand between the wrist and fingers
• The front part of a glove
• A protective device worn by sailmakers on their hands
• To hide something in your hand
• To deflect a football with the hand (if you are a goalkeeper)
• A type of tropical evergreen tree

As you can see, some words have many meanings! See how many you know by taking this quiz..
