Attempt a piece of school writing (5)
I believe the answer is:
essay
I believe this is a quadruple definition!!
'attempt' is the first definition.
(essay can mean to try or attempt something)
'a piece' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Piece of writing ' mean 'essay' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'essay')
'of' is a link.
'school' is the third definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'writing' is the fourth definition.
(I know that essay is a type of writing)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Try; dissertation" , "Written composition" , "Written academic work" , "Make an effort to write one" , "Scholarly work" .)
