Acquiescent में 'a quiet saint' सुनिए। एक शांत संत किसी से बहस नहीं करना चाहता, इसलिए सबकी बात मान लेता है। Spelling: q के बाद u अपने आप आता है (a-c-q-u), फिर i-e-s-c-e-n-t।

Hear 'a quiet saint' in ACQUIESCENT. A quiet saint never wants to argue with anyone, so he simply accepts what others say. Spelling help: after q comes u (a-c-q-u), then i-e-s-c-e-n-t.
