A Quiz for Valentine’s Day??

Oops! I guess I was supposed to prepare a Valentine’s Day post this week, but all I have for you is the quiz on R words. But you might like to look at some of the Valentine’s Day posts of years past:   A Celebration of Love     What Is Love     What’s Love Got to Do with It.  And there are more.

And now the quiz on confusing R words: (Because I know you LOVE quizzes!)

1. I think this dress looks (real, really) pretty on me, don’t you?
2. It’s too bad they are going to (raise, raze) that building right down to the ground.
3. I follow a very strict eating (regimen, regiment) to keep my weight down.
4. The new dues are $10 every month (retroactive from, retroactive to) January.
5. It is (regretful, regrettable) that I cannot come to your wedding.
6. The reason I cannot come is (because of Covid, that I am afraid of Covid). 
7. I (respectfully, respectively) decline your invitation.
8. I (riffled, rifled) through the papers quickly, but I could not find your essay.
9. Your wedding is a (right, rite) of passage that I regret missing.
10. I asked John what (role, roll) he had in the robbery.
11. I hope she is (regretful, regrettable) that she treated her friends that way.
12. We usually treat religious leaders with great (reference, reverence).
