Let me work through this step by step to match each Greek or Latin root with its meaning and then to the correct sample word.

Step 1: Match roots to their meanings

1. dent - This relates to teeth (like dental) → tooth
2. aud - This relates to hearing (like audio, audience) → hear
3. bio - This relates to life (like biology, biography) → life
4. cred - This relates to belief/trust (like credible, credit) → trust
5. circ - This relates to around/circle (like circle, circulate) → around
6. graph - This relates to writing/drawing (like graphic, graph) → writing
7. prim - This relates to first (like primary, prime) → first
8. voc - This relates to voice/call (like vocal, vocation) → call
9. cap - This relates to take/seize (like capture, captivate) → take
10. scope - This relates to seeing/viewing (like microscope, telescope) → see

Step 2: Match meanings to sample words

- hear → audio (device for hearing/listening)
- see → microscope (device for seeing small things)
- trust → credible (worthy of trust/belief)
- take → capture (to take hold of something)
- tooth → dentures (artificial teeth)
- writing → graphic (relating to visual representation/writing)
- call → vocal (relating to voice/calling)
- life → biology (study of life)
- around → circulate (to move around)
- first → primary (first in importance or order)

Step 3: Verify all matches make sense

Let me double-check:
1. dent → tooth → dentures ✓
2. aud → hear → audio ✓
3. bio → life → biology ✓
4. cred → trust → credible ✓
5. circ → around → circulate ✓
6. graph → writing → graphic ✓
7. prim → first → primary ✓
8. voc → call → vocal ✓
9. cap → take → capture ✓
10. scope → see → microscope ✓

All matches are logically consistent!

Final Answer:
1. dent → tooth → dentures
2. aud → hear → audio
3. bio → life → biology
4. cred → trust → credible
5. circ → around → circulate
6. graph → writing → graphic
7. prim → first → primary
8. voc → call → vocal
9. cap → take → capture
10. scope → see → microscope
