expedient has a negative connotation. It means achieving something that is beneficial but in an immoral way so the immoral answer choice is a bit ambiguous

I've been watching all of these in the last couple of weeks to help me study, and I honestly can't believe it. 30/30! I guessed well on a couple of them, but I'm quite proud of myself!

Got 22/30. This video was toughest of all. Very informative videos. Thank you very much!

Fabricating - concocting Expedient - beneficial Glum - melancholic Slander - smear Nascent - fledgling Prowess - ability Harbinger - prelude ❤ Perennial - year around Supplicate - entreat, beg

27/30. Libertine, harbinger and digression. I should remember the first two.

In dictionary, Expedient(no.8) was written as - convenient and practical although possibly improper or immoral. So according to answer choices there was "immoral," which in my opinion should be the correct answer of that question. If we see the positive connotation of "expedient" in the dictionary, that shows convenient and practical which doesn't necessarily mean beneficial.

expedient doesn't directly mean immoral, it basically means doing something that is necessary, doesn't always have to be immoral

Hey greg hefley continue the series will ya

When I googled it, profligate is a synonym for libertine

true, but that's profligate's secondary meaning

25/30 some questions I got wrong because I don't know the meaning of the answer choices, but now I knew.

23/30. Get'n better.

Good video as always. I had a question about number 8. expedient. Why can't we choose B"necessary"? I just looked up in Oxford dictionary for "expedient": useful or necessary for a particular purpose, but not always fair or right. So I thought it should be "B. necessary". You are right that we should think about the context, but honestly there's no context in this question. I just don't know how it comes to "beneficial".
