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?

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.

Liz Hamilton, no. But it can be one of two.

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

I knew enormity had nothing to do with size but evil. Got 8/9.

Enormity's definition is wrong. Does not have anything to do with evil

lenoralange, 6 is correct. "Intensive" is a mispronunciation of "Intents and."

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.

8/9 Missed #7. Really didn't think it necessarily referred to evil.
