OOPS I DID IT AGAIN

Hi guys I am back again with your regular dose of vocabulary vitamins. Well this time we will be dealing with a little different genre of words "common confusables". In fact CAT-2007 laid particular emphasis on these words and as usual life became a little complicated. Like they say "better be safe than sorry" we will be prepared well in advance this time. Here is a list of word pairs ,often confused.

1. (a)Complaisance(n): Inclination to comply willingly with the wishes of others ;amiability.
(b) complacence(n):calm or secure satisfaction with oneself.

2(a) peruse(v): read carefully
(b) pursue(v): follow someone or something diligently.

3(a) Apathy(n): lacking emotions or feelings.
(b) Antipathy(n): Dislike.

4(a) Obtuse(adj): someone who is dull or slow.
(b) Abstruse(adj): something which is diffcult to understand.

5(a) wretch(n): miserable, unfortunate, unhappy person.
(b) Retch(v): react as if you are vomiting.

Well I will definitely keep you guys posted with more number of words, so keep watching this space to avoid confusions and embarassing mistakes
