"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

1. Substandard.
   The building inspector's certification of the new construction was determined to be substandard and must be repaired to meet specifications and certain building codes.

2. Suburban.
   My sister moved from a suburban neighborhood about 10 miles outside the city, to being almost in the center of New York City.

3. Submerge.
   It took The Titanic less than 3 hours to fully submerge into the Atlantic Ocean in 1912.

4. Submissive.
   Some evangelicals believe that wives should be submissive to their husbands, which is complete nonsense.

5. Subsequent.
   When the taxes were raised, subsequently, income levels dropped among those who were taxed the most--yet seemed to earn the least.
