RE: Vocab-ability–179 (phobia = fear, aversion to) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
Claustrophobia.
She developed claustrophobia after she had been placed in the imaging tunnel-like machine for her MRI procedure at the imaging center.Claustrophobic.
Thus, she is now claustrophobic due to that experience and the different intensity of sound noises that the machine makes.Acrophobia.
Not all people have acrophobia some actually enjoy the ultimate view from the top and are awed by the feeling it provides them.Xenophobia.
I think the world would be a better place if all cultures do away with xenophobia and instead begin to learn the faiths, beliefs, traditions, and values of other cultures.Hydrophobia.
You are more likely to feel hydrophobia when you’re on a cruise at sea and suddenly the ship malfunction to the point that it is now sinking under water.
Good work!
