I don't agree with #1. It could refer to two of the three choices.

I don't agree with #7. We all probably got it wrong. Enormity refers to the size of something, right?
JRW
Enormity as defined in the Oxford dictionary "the great or extreme scale, seriousness, or extent of something perceived as bad or morally wrong."
So large size IS correct. Excessive wickedness merely uses a narrow part of the definition, and is thus less correct.
JRW
Liz Hamilton, no. But it can be one of two.

6 / 9. I still don’t agree with your definition of enormity!

Alternate could be two of the three choices.
Georgia Kemp
I knew enormity had nothing to do with size but evil. Got 8/9.
Clara Arbiser
Enormity's definition is wrong. Does not have anything to do with evil

8 / 9. I don’t agree with your definition of enormity though!

lenoralange, 6 is correct. "Intensive" is a mispronunciation of "Intents and."
Isabel Weinberg
lenoralange, 6 is definitely right

7/9, I know my grammar! Agree with previous commenets about no 7. And some of these are not grammar, they're vocabulary tests! Thanks for answers anyway.
