Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots.
primal subsequent dystopia dysplasia
primary sequel postprimary primitive
bad; wrong follow first

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • For "bad; wrong": The prefix "dys - " means bad or wrong. So "dystopia" (bad place) and "dysplasia" (abnormal development) belong here.
  • For "follow": The root "sequ - " or related to following. "subsequent" (coming after), "sequel" (something that follows), and "postprimary" (after primary) have roots related to following.
  • For "first": The root "prim - " means first. So "primal" (first or original), "primary" (first in order), and "primitive" (relating to the first stage) belong here.

Answer:

  • bad; wrong: dystopia, dysplasia
  • follow: subsequent, sequel, postprimary
  • first: primal, primary, primitive
