What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hey shikha1910
Thank you for your query.
Yes, your observation about the use of the word "Research" as a verb and as a noun is correct.
Off the top of my head, another example of a word that follows this pattern is "Study".
I'm sorry I don't have an exhaustive list of such words, and I doubt you'll find such a list anywhere either. Besides, even if you did manage to get your hands on such a list, memorizing that list would not be the most effective way to learn such idioms.
The best way to improve your familiarity with idioms is to read English text (novels, the news, editorials, etc.) regularly and extensively. In doing so, focus on the changes in meaning different prepositions cause to the meanings of verbs, nouns, and adjectives they follow. Over time, your consistency will reward you with a superior understanding of the nuances of the forms and expressions of the English language.
You don't need to rely on memorizing lists. At best, it'll give you marginal gains and only add to your frustration. Always remember, words and phrases find their specific meanings in contexts. If you pull the word or phrase out of its context and put it in a list, you will make it a lot harder to perceive the meaning of that phrase. For example,
Which is the easier way to retain the meaning of the phrase 'let up'?
I hope you see that a context is a lot more powerful in conveying meaning, and is a lot harder to forget.
I hope you see my point.
Happy Learning!

- a. The example sentence: Despite all the painkillers, the pain just wouldn't let up.
b. Let up = relent
