nauseous/nauseated

0A thing is "nauseous" if it makes one sick to the stomach; the unfortunate victim of this malaise is "nauseated" . the common misuse of "nauseous" can be illustrated with the following sentence: "When he sits too long, turns his head too abruptly, or walks any distance, he gets dizzy, loses balance, and becomes nauseous." He doesn't become nauseous unless he turns other people's stomachs; he becomes nauseated. A person who is nauseated is no more nauseous than a person who has been poisoned is poisonous.02br

0Well, it doesn't matter what I think, does it? What matters is that you are able to think these through and arrive at the right answers. Why not think about it some more and try again to choose the right answers, and explain why you chose them? I'm sure you can come up with something, and I think you would learn more that way. 05002br
