Difference between waiver and waver #1 (permalink) Mon May 30, 2005 4:04 am   Difference between waiver and waver
 

Test No. incompl/inter-39 "Yes, Yes, Yes", question 7

Even if things get difficult, I will not ......... or hesitate to stand up for you.

(a) quiver
(b) tremble
(c) waver
(d) waiver

Test No. incompl/inter-39 "Yes, Yes, Yes", answer 7

Even if things get difficult, I will not waver or hesitate to stand up for you.

Correct answer: (c) waver
_________________________

I understand that the word"waver"is someone who waves, and the word"waiver" means to relinquish something. From the context "waiver" should be the right answer.

No, waver is the right answer and is a verb that means hesitate. Waiver is a noun and comes from the verb waive meaning abandon or let pass.

What would be the difference in pronunciation between "waiver" and "waver"?
