4.Purloined: But while the purloined guitar presented to ownership problem,his remaining property did. (I was blank but I guessed positive)?

5.Jaunty:As he was brought into the warehouse, Smith recognized his old foe,Dewey; he stopped chewing a hunk of Doublemint gum he had in his mouth, and grinned and winked at Dewey,jaunty and mischievious. (Felt negative to me but definition wise it was positive)

8.Somolent: Perry looked at the invalid, still somnolent,dazed,deaf, and he looked at the boy who returned his gae calmly, not being, not for "asking for anything," and Perry remebered himself at that age ,his own wanderings with an old man.
