dubious ecstatic encounter evolve fallacy
fictitious gullible liable miserly pessimist

Kathy was (1)ecstatic as she told me that she had (2)[ed] the “perfect man,” as she called him. She insisted he didn’t have one single defect. But I was (3)gullible right from the start. Contrary to Kathy’s view, my own opinion is that “perfection” is a(n) (4)—I’ve never met anyone who was perfect. I must admit that, because of my own bad luck in dating, I am (5) to be more of a (6) than most on this subject. I dated one guy who was so (7) that, when we went to the movies, we had to stay in the theater after the film had ended so he could supplement his income—by searching under the seats for dropped coins. Another was addicted to sausages. He ate sausages for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His strange eating habits alienated me, and our relationship quickly (8)[ed] from bad to “wurst.” Then there were all those guys who couldn’t quite tell the truth. They disclosed so many (9) details about their lives that they should have been novelists. To cite a few examples, they told me they were in college (they weren’t), they had jobs (they didn’t), and they had gotten perfect scores on their SATs (they hadn’t). So you can see why I’m apprehensive about encouraging Kathy, who is so (10) that she believes anything anyone says. I can’t wait to meet Mr. Perfect. He’s probably either a liar or a lunatic. And I’m not sure which is worse.

I need help urgently
THANK YOU
