Explanation:

For section 1 and 3, these are self-assessment tasks where you check the box that best reflects your current knowledge of each word (this is ungraded, so answer honestly). For section 2, we match each target word to its synonyms/related words based on standard lexical meanings:

• "concept" refers to an abstract idea, so it pairs with words meaning an idea.
• "innovation" refers to a new, original idea or creation.
• "network" refers to an interconnected system or group.
• "research" refers to systematic investigation or study.

Answer:

1. (Self-assessment: Check the box for each word that matches your knowledge level: Don't know it / Have heard of it but not sure of its meaning / Know something about its meaning / Know it well)
2. Word Matcher pairs:

• concept ↔ notion, idea
• innovation ↔ originality, wrinkle
• network ↔ system, circuit, matrix
• research ↔ inquiry, study, scholarship

1. (Self-assessment: Check the box for each word that matches your updated knowledge level: Don't know it / Have heard of it but not sure of its meaning / Know something about its meaning / Know it well)
