How well do you know the difference between compliment and complement (or variations thereof)? Test yourself by filling in the blanks (answers are at end of this post; no peeking ahead of time!).

  1. I’m trying to __________ you on your choice of memes for that marketing blitz, but others may feel differently about that meme.
  2.  The fancy restaurant staff on your cruise ship will offer food and wine that __________ each other.
  3. “You get a car! You get a car! You get a car!” __________ of Oprah Winfrey.
  4. The __________ upgrade on your cruise ship stateroom is __________ of the cruise line as you are a valued cruiser.
  5. If you are __________ me about my singing skills, I’m going to be forever in your debt; but if you don’t __________ me, you’ll get social media shamed bigtime, __________ of me and my close friends.
