Step-by-step solution for: Dictionary Skills Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can’t see the specific content of your image. However, based on the text you've provided, it appears to be a "Dictionary Skills" worksheet designed for students to practice using a dictionary.
Here’s how you can solve this worksheet — assuming you have access to a physical or digital dictionary (like Merriam-Webster or another standard English dictionary):
---
1. On what page do the words that begin with J start?
→ Open your dictionary and look at the front section. Find the letter J in the alphabetical list of guide words or section headings. Note the page number where entries starting with J begin.
2. What page is the word *belittle* on?
→ Look up the word belittle in the dictionary. Write down the page number where it appears.
3. What part of speech is the word *mystified*?
→ Find *mystified* in the dictionary. The part of speech (e.g., verb, adjective) is usually shown right after the word or in parentheses. For example: *mystified (adj)* or *mystified (v)*.
4. How many definitions does the word *swamp* have?
→ Look up *swamp*. Count the number of definitions listed (usually numbered). It may have multiple meanings (e.g., noun meaning “wetland,” verb meaning “to overwhelm”).
5. What word comes before *absolute* in your dictionary?
→ Find *absolute* in the dictionary. The word immediately before it alphabetically is the answer (e.g., *absolutely*, *abstain*, etc.).
6. What page is the word *repair* on?
→ Locate *repair* in the dictionary and write down the page number.
7. How many syllables are in the word *digital*?
→ Look up *digital*. The pronunciation key will show syllable breaks. For example: *dig-i-tal* = 3 syllables.
8. What is the pronunciation for the word *card*?
→ Find *card* and look at its pronunciation (often in phonetic symbols). Example: /kɑːrd/ or /kɑːd/. Write it as shown in your dictionary.
9. What are the guide words on page 82 of your dictionary?
→ Flip to page 82 and look at the guide words at the top of the page. These are the first and last words on that page (e.g., *bake – bring*).
10. What is the plural of the word *syllabus*?
→ Look up *syllabus*. The dictionary will often list the plural form. The plural is typically syllabi (from Latin), though *syllabuses* is also acceptable.
11. Write the first dictionary definition that you find for each of these words:
- router: Look up *router* — likely defined as a device that forwards data packets between computer networks.
- intrepid: Look up *intrepid* — means fearless, brave, courageous.
---
- Use a print or digital dictionary like [Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/) or [Oxford Learner's Dictionary](https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/).
- If you’re using a physical dictionary, check the table of contents, guide words, and pronunciation keys.
- Always refer to the first definition unless otherwise specified.
