GRE verbal- words grouping



Grouping of GRE words can really cut down the time investment in verbal section. Here we try to formulate something related to this picture, using GRE words shown below.

This picture portray two young monks together staring at something. Lets make this conversation of these two monks worth reading for your gre.

The tall guy is adept in Buddhist texts after spending 7 years in monastery while young kid is newbie to monastery( so we would call him callow/inexperienced/fledgling); his father sent him to monastery just couple of weeks earlier and since then he was learning rigorously Buddhist sermons. Today, he is sipping on nature's beauty after a long stay in monastery.Callow asked adept when he saw a young bird swiftly flying along with a mature bird," Adept, why can't we humans fly in the sky," adept gazed at flying young bird and thought for while, then he elaborated, " We don't have wings that is why."

Callow thought adept was considering him a Oaf, so he replied,"what causes emancipation of soul from wordily affairs and, how one could attain enlightenment in this human body." Adept was expecting this question from callow as he knew that before coming to monastery callow was exalted by villagers for his wisdom in such young age." Enlightenment has always been a conundrum for human being since the dawn of life, but we not only need to practise celibacy and devotion, but also require to get over from all our transgressions, that put us in opprobrium, by delving deep into our mind with the help of meditation or disciplined/selfless life which we actually live in our monastery," adept expressed vividly. Adept now raised his finger towards a waterfall," Do you see this, how smoothly water is flowing; listen to this resonating voice," Callow seemed to be hypnotised in that brisk harmony of water droplets which were, together with birds cacophony, putting up a fusion like scenario. " We mortals have really damaged the nature by our misdeeds, but nature is not relentless, it forgives and bless us with such beatific vistas". With this conversation going more philosophical we have now just finished our gre words which I grouped below. All italicized words above are gre words.
