ranger on his appointment. <Consecutive, successive.> Three consecutive convictions proved the ability of the prosecuting attorney. The quiet passing of successive summer days. <Contemptible, contemptuous.> Its size was insignificant, even contemptible. He won the prize by a contemptuous trick. <Continuation, continuance.> The investigator was surprised to find the tradition of such long continuation. We waited impatiently for the continuance of the story in the next issue. <Corporal, corporeal.> I am more and more amazed at the perfection of man's corporal frame. His corporeal vigor was unusual. <Correct, rectify.> A man may correct many of his false judgments on current affairs by studying history. The mistake is ours; it shall be rectified. <Cozy, snug.> The cozy fit of a garment. A snug place by the fire. <Crawl, creep.> We crawled forward at dawn to surprise their outposts. In his humility he fairly crept on the earth. <Credible, creditable.> I do not doubt it; it is entirely credible. The success of the antidote seemed scarcely creditable. <Credit, accredit.> Though he is the official and credited ambassador, his assertions are not accredited. <Cure, heal.> I cured the dog's wounds. The physician declared he could heal leprosy. <Custom, habit.> "A custom more honor'd in the breach than the observance." Is it your custom to watch the clock while you eat? The habit in that region was to rise at cockcrow. <Decided, decisive.> A decided battle. A decisive fault in manners. <Definite, definitive.> We still await a definite edition of this author's works. His answer was so definitive that we no longer doubted what he meant. <Demesne, domain.> Clive added India to the British demesne. The king went riding through his personal domain. <Deprecate, depreciate.> The German mark has deprecated in value. He depreciated the praise they were lavishing upon him. <Descent, dissent.> They tied themselves together with a rope in order to make their dissent safer. The dissent to a lower plane of conversation was what he most desired. <Discovery, invention.> The discovery of the wireless telegraph is Marconi's chief claim to remembrance. The invention of a water passage between Tierra del Fuego and the mainland was the work of Magellan. <Discriminate, distinguish.> He could not discriminate individuals at that distance. Any man can distinguish right from wrong. <Disinterested, uninterested.>
