"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

Interrogate. The police had to interrogate the witness for 7 hours before he finally broke down and confessed to the crime.

Prerogative. It is the new mother's prerogative to want to hold her new baby as soon as it's born.

Derogatory. There was no need for the hateful, derogatory remarks said in the courtroom, so the judge sustained the entire questioning.
