I gave up on this quiz because there were too many unaccepted answers for words that fit the definition. For RESEARCH I kept trying versions of REVIEW, for PROPERTY, I kept trying POSSESSION. I like most of these quizzes, but found this one especially frustrating.

Thank you for your feedback. I will shortly be updating the definition of “property” to reduce ambiguity.

I do not plan to update “research.” “Review” doesn’t necessarily carry the same sense of diligence that research does, i.e., it is possible to conduct a cursory review.

I encourage you to share other frustrating examples from this quiz if you have the time and desire to do so.
