Ezzat, just a few points on the answers you've been given. We are all confused as to why @William Petley seems to think that 'plunge' is 'rarely used'. As @Dan Smith says, 'plunge' is actually a common word in daily use. 'Profligate' is not a very common word, but, in spite of what @Prof Anni seems to think, it is not a misspelling. 'Proliferate' and 'propagate' (watch your spelling, Prof A!) are entirely different words.

I have not heard #9. For the rest, they all can be used and understood but some are more common in literature, not in conversation. #5 and #3, for instance, are words most people know but probably few use in real life. For example #6 (assuming you mean predicament) is used in writing but in real life you would probably say "situation", "trouble", or "circumstance" instead.
