Reveal meaning and examples
Hasty and not attentive to detail.
A cursory glance at the map was insufficient for the unfamiliar route.
Dictionary practice example.
A small gallery asked volunteers to review labels for a student exhibition. Jules was a discerning reader who noticed subtle differences between confident description and unsupported interpretation. His astute suggestion was to compare each label with the artist's own notes. A cursory glance could catch a missing title, but it would not reveal every mismatch in the wording.
Reveal the answer first, then make a self-check. Another word may fit the definition; compare with the target word. This is separate from scored quiz accuracy.
