Let's take this slow - the first word is Alternative, not to be confused with "Alternate". (YES that is what the book said!!) The actual definition of Alternative: n. (ol-tur' ne-tiv) 1. a.) The choice between two mutually exclusive possibilities. b.) A situation presenting such a choice. c.) Either of these possibilities. 2. a.) Usage Problem One of a number of things from which one must be chosen. adj. 1. a.) Allowing or necssitating a choice between two or more things. 2. a.) Existing outside traditional or established institutions or systems: "an alternative lifestyle." b.) Espousing or reflecting values that are different from those of the establishment or mainstream. OK now lets take Lifestyle: n. (lif' stil) 1. a.) A way of life that reflects the attitudes and values of a person or group. That one was easy - if you have any further questions please click here - I hope that helps. |
