a Dictionary.com quiz I actually like: hip-hop vocab

While some of this Dictionary.com quiz's questions are easy and commonsensical, some do require you to think if you're not immersed in hip-hop culture (as I am not), and it's much the same process as you'd use to figure out the answers to the Sentence Completion section of the pre-2016 SAT. Try the quiz out, and answers will be at the bottom between brackets. Just highlight to see the answers. I got 7 out of 7 on my first try. I think you can do just as well.
