Hi
You should be able to find the word 'earnest' in any dictionary. Click here.

Hi Torsten In my opinion, this sentence could use a bit of editing: - The standard spelling of Internet is still with a capital I. - There should be a comma after the word 'father' (to separate the non-defining clause).
It was possible to look up the topic on the Internet but she decided instead to ask her erudite father, who knew the answer to most things. . _________________ Amy

Suggested correction: It was possible to look up the topic on the Internet, but she decided instead to ask her ......... father, who knew the answer to most things. . _________________ Amy
