Question 4
We need to form a word that means "the act of breaking in upon or stopping". The prefix "inter" (not given here, but looking at the options, "inter" is not there, wait, the given parts: "anti", "pre", "rup", "ruption". Wait, "interruption" would be, but the given prefixes: "anti" (against), "pre" (before). Wait, no, the correct word for "the act of breaking in upon or stopping" is "interruption", but the given parts: maybe "inter" is not there. Wait, the options: "anti" + "ruption" = "antirruption"? No. Wait, "pre" + "ruption"? No. Wait, maybe the correct word is "interruption", but the given prefixes are "anti" and "pre", and roots "rup", "ruption". Wait, maybe a typo, but looking at the definition: "the act of breaking in upon or stopping" – the word is "interruption", but the given parts: maybe "inter" is missing. Wait, no, the given prefixes are "anti" (against) and "pre" (before), and roots "rup" (break) and "ruption" (act of breaking). Wait, "interruption" has prefix "inter" (between) and root "rupt" (break) + "ion". But the given parts: maybe the intended word is "interruption", but the given prefixes are "anti" and "pre". Wait, maybe I misread. Let's re-examine. The problem is to form a word from the given prefixes and roots. The prefixes are "anti", "pre" and roots "rup", "ruption". Wait, "interruption" is not among them. Wait, "pre" + "ruption"? No. "anti" + "ruption" = "antirruption" (against corruption), but the definition is "the act of breaking in upon or stopping". Maybe the correct word is "interruption", but the given parts are wrong. Wait, maybe the root is "rupt" (break) and prefix "inter" (between), but "inter" is not given. Wait, the given prefixes are "anti" (against) and "pre" (before), roots "rup" (break) and "ruption" (act of breaking). Wait, maybe the answer is "interruption", but since "inter" is not given, maybe the problem has a typo. Alternatively, "pre" + "ruption" = "preruption"? No. "anti" + "ruption" = "antirruption" (against corruption), but the definition is about breaking in upon or stopping. Maybe the correct word is "interruption", but the given parts are incorrect. Alternatively, maybe the intended word is "interruption", but the given prefixes are wrong. Alternatively, maybe the root is "rupt" and prefix "inter", but "inter" is not given. I think there's a mistake, but assuming the given parts are "anti", "pre", "rup", "ruption", the correct word for "the act of breaking in upon or stopping" is "interruption", but since "inter" is not given, maybe the problem meant "interruption" with prefix "inter" and root "rupt" + "ion". But the given parts don't have "inter". Wait, maybe the root is "ruption" (act of breaking) and prefix "inter" (between), but "inter" is missing. Alternatively, maybe the answer is "interruption", but the given parts are wrong.
We need to form a word that means "to break up or split". The prefixes are "a", "dis" and roots "rupt", "ture". The root "rupt" means "break", and prefix "dis" means "apart" or "undo". So "dis" + "rupt" = "disrupt" (to break apart or split). Let's check: "dis" (apart) + "rupt" (break) = "disrupt", which means to break up or split (or cause disorder by breaking up). The other option: "a" + "rupt" = "arupt" (not a word), "dis" + "ture" = "disture" (not a word), "a" + "ture" = "ature" (not a word). So the correct word is "disrupt".

- The correct word is "interruption" (but with given parts, maybe a typo; if we use "inter" (not given) + "rupt" + "ion", but given parts are "anti", "pre", "rup", "ruption". Alternatively, maybe "interruption" is intended, so the prefix is "inter" (not given) and root "rupt" + "ion". But since "inter" is not given, maybe the problem has an error. However, based on the definition, the word is "interruption".
