Academic Vocabulary Toolkit 1, Words 51-60

Compare with "consequence" in the list for Words 21-30. As the definitions here and in your workbook show, the presence of force or strength is important for an impact. An impact can happen immediately and last a second or millions of years. A consequence must come after something else (note its connection to sequence).

See the definition for "including" in your workbook. I am not including the other definitions for the word. But as you can guess, the same word can both have different definitions and be used as different parts of speech.

Compare with the synonym "demonstrate." As the definitions in your workbook indicate, the act of showing is important to both verbs. But note the adverb "probably" in the second definition for "indicate." This suggests that you should choose the word "demonstrate" when you want to make a stronger point.

The given definition of "issue" is the one most people think and talk about. But "issue" has many definitions both as a noun and verb, and most connect to an idea of going out. An issue of a newspaper goes out to the readers; the issue of a person can be children or other creations that go out into the world. You can issue a noise or smell that goes out to other people's ears and noses; the government can issue supplies that go out to the army or the country.
