POLL - answer

Which word best describes a place that is old, deteriorated and broken down?
decrepit
run-down
derelict
all of the above

There were 6 votes in this poll and they were divided like this:
2 = decrepit
1 = run-down
3 = derelict

Take a look at the explanation below:

A place or something that is old, deteriorated and broken down can be described as
DECREPIT; RUN-DOWN; DERELICT; WOEBEGONE; RICKETY; WORN-OUT.

All of the answers were right!!!

Examples:
- Most Subway stations in New York are decrepit.
- I won't pay more than $10,000 for this ugly derelict house.
- This neighborhood didn't use to be run-down.

Best wishes,
André
