Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. SPD This synonym for run could be used when you hurry things along, especially in your car.

Answer: speed

This is one instance where run is a verb. When it is used to mean speeding, it can sometimes be used more figuratively. An example would be, "Boy, he's really running."

2. FL You would use this synonym for run if you were to run away from something.

Answer: flee

To flee is just one of many different ways to say run away or run from something.

3. GLLP This run synonym is often used to describe the gait of a horse.

Answer: gallop

When horses run, we usually tend to be more specific than just using the word run. Gallop, canter, and trot are all words used to describe how fast a horse is running.

4. SPRD This synonym for run could replace run in the following sentence: "If you spill the water, it will run across the table."

Answer: spread

This is yet another verbal usage of run. This one is different from most usages since it doesn't refer to something's rate of motion. Any liquid that moves or spreads can be said to run.

5. VRS This run synonym means to run things or supervise.

Answer: oversee

If you run the operations of a factory, you oversee the work that is being done. This is also another usage of run that has nothing to do with speed.

6. HTFT If you hurry or run away, then this run synonym would be appropriate to use.

Answer: hotfoot

You can hotfoot it out of here to run away in hurry. Just don't let your feet catch fire!

7. MNG "I'm the boss, I run things around here." What word could I use to replace run?

Answer: manage

Manage can be used for run, just like the word oversee can. Manage tends to have a nicer conotation to it, since oversee can imply that the person running everything doesn't do much more than observe, whereas a manager would actively take part in activities.

8. DRTN Sometimes run can mean how long something lasts, as in "He had a good run in office."

Answer: duration

This is one of the few instances where run is used as a noun. Other synonyms for run here include stint, term, and time.

9. CMPGN If you run against someone, you could be said to _____ against them.

Answer: campaign

This one is the political usage of run. You run for office or run against someone in a campaign.

10. DCMP This word means to run away or leave suddenly.

Answer: decamp

When you have to leave camp in a hurry, you are said to decamp. This is yet another run synonym that means to flee or run away.
