Caught this typo in an incorrect answer: "a governor in india during the mogual empire" is the definition for "nawab" Bolded word should be either Mughal, Moghul, or Mogul. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire

6. Self-depreciation Your answer: a feeling of being of little worth
It was clear what was meant, but the word is 'self-deprecation', without the first 'I'.

Placebo is a correct definition for "vespers of the office for the dead", actually. It's pronounced "pla-chaybo", rather than "plaseebo".

'Cyder' is actually a variant of 'cider', albeit archaic, but still a legitimate word.

It looks as if rabbet and rebate are two variants of the same word. I assume you didn't have them both in the same set of options. If that is the case, I don't see the issue. There are many words in this game that offer multiple variant spellings. "A rabbet (also known as rebate) is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machineable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a rabbet is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into which it is cut." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbet

3. An exciting or stimulting experience
Your answer: head trip
I think 'stimulating' was the word intended here.

6. Be opposite to Your answer: contradict
contradict means "prove negative"
The correct answer was delimit
"Contradict" seems to fit at least as well as "delimit" here.
