with the word below?
impetuous
A. adventurous
B. irrational
C. translucent

Answer 1

Hello Lilahgodess!

In the English language there are 3 types of word parts or morphemes. These refer to the parts of  a word made up of  units of meaning. The 3 types of word parts are :

• Prefix (comes at the start of the word)
• Root (comes in between the word)
• Suffix (comes at the last of the word)

In the words given above, we need to select a word which shares a  same word part with 'impetous'.

By observing the words, we can see that the word 'adventorous' shares the same suffix (ous) as 'impetous'.

• Adventure + ous = Adventurous → To indulge or take part in risky activities.
• Impetus + ous = Impetuous → To do something quickly & irrationally  without thinking much about it.

The other words (irrational & translucent) don't share  same word parts with 'impetuous'.

The correct answer is option A. adventurous.
