Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots. accelerant accelerate simulation similar decelerate dissimilar speed same

Explanation:

• For the "speed" category: The root "celer" means speed. "Accelerant" (something that speeds up a process), "accelerate" (to increase speed), and "decelerate" (to decrease speed) all relate to speed.
• For the "same" category: The root "simil" means same or similar. "Simulation" (imitation, making similar), "similar" (having likeness), and "dissimilar" (not having likeness) all relate to the concept of sameness or similarity.

Answer:

• speed: accelerant, accelerate, decelerate
• same: simulation, similar, dissimilar
