Creative Story:

After all my cousins left my house, there was a profusion of smells coming from the kitchen. It turns out that the smell was from the rotten trash and the smell effused from the holes of the cheap garbage bag. My mom exclaimed that she has to get better garbage bags as she circumfused air freshner all over the room to make it smell better.

Examples: Gradient, Gressorial, Gradation
 * Grad and Gress-** to step or advance

The chart had a gradient that was increasing.
 * Gradient-** a gentle slope

Wings are not a gressorial limb because they are not used for walking.
 * Gressorial**- Adapted for walking

The image had a smooth gradation between colors.
 * Gradation**- series of successive changes, stages, or degrees


 * Story:** Jeff found a drawing of a bird in his drawer. He realized that bird's wings were not used for walking and therefore were not gressorial. He was admiring the smooth gradation between the colors in the drawing when he realized that he needed to do his math homework. The first problem consisted of a graph with a positive gradient.
