Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It really depends on what you would consider grammar words!. Age, grade and reading level would change which would be considered vocabulary words!.

From chapter 2:
hypocritical
discretion
emphatic
acquaintance
nonsense
astonishment
tumult

Some other words you may consider:
imprudent
exigence
unintelligible
compassionate
consolatory
obstinacy
comparative
acquiescence
importune
impertinence
abominably
palliation
actuated
laudable
vindication
assiduously
condescension
obsequious
sufficiently

These are just some which may qualify!. You can search through the story for others here: http://www!.online-literature!.com/austen/!.!.!.

I hope this helps!.

Note: These are merely from Pride and Prejudice!. The site I gave you has all six of her major novels, and you can search for words and phrases in each!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
