Students tackle mastery-level root analysis across multiple roots and combinations. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about which word pair shares the write root, aqueduct decoded from aqua and duct, and infrastructure explained from infra and struct. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about scrib and script as write, auto as self-operating, and how re- changes meaning.
Combining multiple roots and analyzing less familiar words challenges fourth graders to apply root knowledge flexibly and independently.
