  2. 1. erratic

    2. comely

    3. I think the sentence is missing a word and/or has a misspelled word, so I'm not sure of the answer, mediocre?

    4. expulsion

    5. jeer (it's the best choice but doesn't quite fit...)

  3. 1. Though he had a great sinker ball, he was was so ERRATIC on the mound that fans started to call him "Wild Pitch Hickok."

    2. Though she is not a beautiful woman by conventional standards, she is certainly COMELY and appealing.

    3. The speaker advised us not to imitate the DISSOLUTE kind person who squanders time and money in the vain pursuit of pleasure.

    **Could also be mediocre, but I think dissolute fits better. Dissolute means licentious and morally corrupt.

    4. He was a changed young man after his EXPULSION from West Point for "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman."

    5. Their only response to my warnings was to JEER at me scornfully and go ahead with their plans.
