so far.

3. What does “wink” mean?

George winked to me from across the room. It was a signal not to say
anything about what we had seen.

could close just one of her eyes and she did it often.

You could tell from his sallow complexion that he had lived in an unhealthy
climate for many years.

5. What does “dike” mean?

After so much rain, the river flowed over the dike and into the fields.

People in this area began building dikes many centuries ago. It was the
only way to keep the sea out of their villages.

6. What does “gaudy” mean?
