English Test
What do these words have in common: age, blame, curb, dance, evidence, fence, gleam, harm, interest, jam, kiss, latch, motion, nest, order, part, quiz, rest, signal, trust, use, view, win, x-ray, yield, zone?
I always think these are going to be harder for people to solve.
Answer: All the words can be used as both nouns and verbs and as Abe pointed out, they are in alphabetical order, but can that be considered a commonality? And is commonality a real word? ;-)
