Compound words are made when two words are joined to form a new word.
In this series of 11-plus verbal reasoning quizzes you have to find one word from each group of words in brackets that together makes one correctly spelled word. The letters must not be rearranged. The word from the first group will always be used first.
Choose one answer from the four choices available. If you are completing these quizzes in order, you are on the second of four Compound Word quizzes. By now you should understand how they work, and complete this one really quickly.
