Every field has its own set of abbreviations. They help keep space to a minimum. For example, a baseball coach uses P, C, 1B, 2B, SS, etc. for the various team positions. For each group below, identify each member and the group to which they all belong.
-1. BOT, MET, ZOO, PHY, CHE, ES, GEO, OCE -2. VEN, CAM, SEQ, AVA, TUN, COR, TAC -3. TMP, TWOK, TSFS, TVH, TFF, TUC, GEN 4. HHC, TIO, DIP, OW, B2B, DAP, SWH (Irish dance instructions) -5. OHP, TUT, FSQ, BB, WG, IBP, ROM -6. OGP, DDO, SMS, RPM, AU, MS -7. XOM, BAC, AAPL, PFE, GE, NOK, C -8. TVM, CYA, WIIFM, FOFL, BBL, OIC, BTW -9. YON, CC, LC, MB, HDC, CO, WS, RT -10. CGI, EXT, POV, MOS, OS, BG, VO, SFX
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.
