insurrection - an act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government
For this one I could have easily put the American Revolution or something easy like that, but, I wanted to show that other types of rebellion have taken place that are non-violent. In this case, I chose music, and I think the Sex Pistols are pioneers in musical insurrection. They were one of the very first punk bands and their songs showed their unhappiness with the way things were in the world and government, and they took stabs (lyrical stabs of course) at important figures like the Queen of England. It really opened the door for the future of the then-young genre of punk rock and showed it was possible to rebel through music. This is the longest vocab picture explanation I've ever done.
Fidelity
fidelity - loyalty
I know it's kind of cliche to say dogs are loyal, but seriously, they ARE. My friend's dog follow him everywhere and will actually protect him. How cool is that?
Acumen
acumen - keen insight
lucid - easily understood; completely intelligible or comprehensible
Here's something that seriously lacks lucidity. The SAT is filled with questions that are worded in the wierdest ways, just to though you off.
Complicit
complicit - choosing to be involved in an illegal act
In Fight Club, the main character Tyler starts an underground fighting club that later becomes a rebellious act called Project Mayhem, that goes around doing organized destructive activities, like bombing headquarters of major credit card companies. The members of Project Mayhem choose to do this so they are complicit.
