To solve this matching problem, we need to connect the
Root to its correct
Meaning, and then connect that Meaning to the correct
Sample Word. Let’s go step by step.
---
Step 1: Match each root to its meaning
We’ll use common knowledge of Greek and Latin roots:
1.
dent → means “tooth” (like in *dentist* or *dentures*)
2.
aud → means “hear” (like in *audio* or *audience*)
3.
bio → means “life” (like in *biology* or *biography*)
4.
cred → means “trust” (like in *credible* or *credit*)
5.
circ → means “around” (like in *circle* or *circulate*)
6.
graph → means “writing” (like in *graphic* or *autograph*)
7.
prim → means “first” (like in *primary* or *prime*)
8.
voc → means “call” (like in *vocal* or *invoke*)
9.
cap → means “take” (like in *capture* or *captivate*)
10.
scope → means “see” (like in *microscope* or *telescope*)
✔ So far, our Root → Meaning matches are:
- dent → tooth
- aud → hear
- bio → life
- cred → trust
- circ → around
- graph → writing
- prim → first
- voc → call
- cap → take
- scope → see

Step 2: Match each meaning to the sample word
Now let’s match the meanings to the sample words given:
Sample Words list:
- graphic → relates to “writing” → so matches
graph
- dentures → relates to “tooth” → matches
dent
- microscope → relates to “see” → matches
scope
- biology → relates to “life” → matches
bio
- vocal → relates to “call” → matches
voc
- circulate → relates to “around” → matches
circ
- audio → relates to “hear” → matches
aud
- primary → relates to “first” → matches
prim
- capture → relates to “take” → matches
cap
- credible → relates to “trust” → matches
cred
✔ So now we can link everything together:
Let’s write out the full chain for each number:
1.
dent → tooth →
dentures
2.
aud → hear →
audio
3.
bio → life →
biology
4.
cred → trust →
credible
5.
circ → around →

6.
graph → writing →
graphic
7.
prim → first →
primary
8.
voc → call →
vocal
9.
cap → take →

10.
scope → see →

Final Check:
Let’s verify each one quickly:
- dent → tooth → dentures
✔
- aud → hear → audio
✔
- bio → life → biology
✔
- cred → trust → credible
✔
- circ → around → circulate
✔
- graph → writing → graphic
✔
- prim → first → primary
