I agree because a watch is a time keeper. A watch is small and can be carried around easily so it's portable.

15. An ear is a vertebrate organ of smell.
This is a bad definition because an ear is an organ of hearing, and a nose is the organ for smell on a vertebrate.

15. An ear is the vertebrate organ of smell.
I think this defnition is bad because the defnition is wrong. An ear doesn't smell it hears,
saying something like this would be like saying I have an arm that breaths! It's just
not correct.

37. A metaphor is the comparison of two UNLIKE things, using like or as.
-This is a bad definition, first of all, a metaphor compares two unlike things without the use of 'like' or 'as', for this is the definition of a simile. Second, the definition does not describe a metaphor as a part of speech, it just throws it out there as it is.

25. A habitat is a location where a plant or animal lives. This is a weak definition because it makes plants and animals seem like people. It also isn`t percise because a plant could be planted in its habitat but then be gathered and put somewhere else and "live" there. The correct way to define habitat is a location where a plant or animal is found.

8. A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of sides congruent (the same length).

i think these is only slightly off its. A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs. Points AB and AD should be congruent and points BC and CD should be congruent but AB/AD and BC/CD should not be congruent.
