- Word Roots (list 4) - With your partners, try to think of one or two words to explain the meaning of each root.
- icon (iconography, iconoclast, iconic) = image/symbol
- idio (idiomatic, idiosyncrasy, idiot) = peculiar/oneself
- il/im/in/ir (illegal, impossible, inconsiderate, irresponsible) = not
- il/im/in/ir (illuminate, impress, inhale, irradiate) = in
- Spelling rules:
- il before L
- im before B, M, P: imbibe, imbalance, immerse, immobile
- ir before R
- in before everything else: inaction, increase, indominable, ineffable, infect, ingratiate, inhabit, etc.
- infra (infrastructure, infrared) = under
- inter (interview, international, intercept) = between/among
- intra/intro (intravenous, introvert) = into/inward
- (con/contra, ex/extra, in/intra, re/retro - the “tra” adds something like direction)
- ject (interject, eject, inject) = throw/push
- junct (junction, conjunction, adjunct) = join
- kine (kinetic, kinesthetic, telekinesis) = motion (The Latin spelling of this root is “cine”.)
- lab (labor, collaborate, elaborate) = work
- lex/lect (lexical, dyslexia, lecture, dialect) = word/speak/read
- (The base root really means “to gather or pick”, as in collect/select/elect, but most words using this root in English have to do with gathering or picking out words. In other words: speaking.)
- loc (location, dislocation, relocate) = place
- luc (translucent, elucidate) = light

- meta (metamorphosis, metastasis, metabolism) = change
- meta (metaphysics, metacognition, metadata) = beyond/about (metacognition is thinking about thoughts)
- micro (microscope, microphone, microbe) = tiny (unit prefix for 1/1,000,000)
- migr (immigrate, migrant) = move (from one place to another)
- mis (misbehave, misnomer) = incorrect
- miss/mit (dismiss, transmit, missile) = send
- mono (monochromatic, monotonous, monologue) = one

- giga = 1,000,000,000x = 10^9
- tera = 1,000,000,000,000 = 10^12
- Small Units:
- deci = 1/10
- centi = 1/100
- milli = 1/1000
- micro = 1/1,000,000 = 10^-6
- nano = 1/1,000,000,000 = 10^-9

- Inference questions ask you to identify the answer choice(s) that must be true given the information in the text (even though it’s not stated directly in the passage).
- Cambridge exercise R15 - Identify all the correct inferences that can be made from each statement.
- ---
- BREAK

- 1 C
- 2 B
- 3 B D (“previously introduced” means European bees are also there already)
- 4 A B (“floating nest”)
- 5 B C
- 6 B D
- 7 A C
- 8 B (Morphine is unsurpassed, which means every other drug must not be as good as morphine. Therefore, cocaine is not as good as morphine for controlling pain.) (maybe C - But we don’t really know that they used it for pain relief 5000 years ago.)
- ---
- In R16, all of the inferences are correct. Identify the parts of the passage that you can use to make these inferences.
- ---
- exercise R17 - Is each of these statements a correct inference?
- 1 yes
- 2 yes
- 3 no
- 4 yes (“the rest” and “the others” mean all of the remaining ones, in this case the other 9)
- 5 no
- 6 yes
- ---
- Common features of wrong inference answer choices:
- - causation (when the passage only says things happened at the same time or one after the other)
- - predictions (when the only information is about the present or the past)
- - judgments about good/bad or “should” (when the only information is factual)
- ---
- It’s also incorrect to choose an answer choice that you know is true, but which can’t be concluded from the passage.
