Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The root "rupt" means "to hear," so an eruption is when a volcano hears loudly.
Rewrite: The root "rupt" means "to break," so an eruption is when a volcano breaks open.
2. Fix the sentence:
A dictator is someone who carries messages because "dict" means to carry.
Rewrite: A dictator is someone who gives orders because "dict" means to say or speak.
3. Fix the sentence:
The root "aud" means "to see," so an auditorium is a place where people go to see.
Rewrite: The root "aud" means "to hear," so an auditorium is a place where people go to listen.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The root "rupt" means to break .
2. The root "dict" means to say .
3. The root "aud" means to hear .
4. When a pipe bursts, it breaks apart suddenly, just like the root "rupt" suggests.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. How does the root "dict" help you understand the word predict?
The prefix "pre-" means before and "dict" means to say, so predict means to say what will happen before it does.
2. Why does the word "audio" relate to the root "aud"? Give an example.
Audio relates to "aud" because both deal with hearing. For example, audio equipment plays sounds for people to hear.
