Explanation:

The prefix "fore -" means before or in advance. Words like "forecast", "foretell" and "foreshadowing" imply predicting or indicating something in advance. Other words with this prefix include "forefront", "forearm".

#17

The suffixes "-able" and "-ible" mean capable of being. For example, "drivable" means capable of being driven, "edible" means capable of being eaten. Other words are "readable", "flexible".

#18

The root "aud" means to hear. In words like "auditorium", "audiovisual" and "audition", the concept of hearing is involved. Another word is "audible", as in "The sound was audible from a distance."

#19

The root "spect" means to look at or observe. Words such as "spectator", "inspect" and "spectacles" are related to looking. Another word is "prospect", as in "I'm excited to prospect for new opportunities."

#20

The prefix "in -" here means not. "Aud" means to hear and "-ible" means capable of being. So "inaudible" means not capable of being heard. It can be a good idea to be inaudible when you don't want to be noticed, like when sneaking around quietly.
