Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots.
intersect transfer propel bisect
prognosticate proceed projection intransigent
cut across before; forward

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For the "cut" category:
  • "intersect" has the root "sect" (meaning cut), as it means to cut across.
  • "bisect" has "sect" (to cut into two parts).
  • "intransigent" has "trans" (across) and "ig" (to drive), but wait, no—wait, "intransigent" actually has roots related to not moving, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. The correct words for "cut" are "intersect" (inter - between, sect - cut: cut between), "bisect" (bi - two, sect - cut: cut into two), and actually, "intransigent" is not related to cut. I must have made an error. Let's re - analyze each word:
  • "intersect": "inter" (between) + "sect" (cut) → cut between.
  • "bisect": "bi" (two) + "sect" (cut) → cut into two.
  • The third word for "cut" should be... Wait, maybe I missed. Let's check the other words. "transfer": "trans" (across) + "fer" (carry) → carry across. "propel": "pro" (forward) + "pel" (drive) → drive forward. "prognosticate": "pro" (before) + "gnost" (know) → know before (predict). "proceed": "pro" (forward) + "ceed" (go) → go forward. "projection": "pro" (forward) + "ject" (throw) → throw forward. So for "cut": intersect, bisect, and is there another? Wait, maybe the original problem has a typo or my analysis is wrong. Wait, the words are intersect, transfer, propel, bisect, prognosticate, proceed, projection, intransigent. So for "cut": intersect (sect - cut), bisect (sect - cut), and maybe intransigent is not. Wait, maybe the third word is not there, but according to the problem, we have to sort. So "cut": intersect, bisect. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Let's check the roots again:
  • "intersect": root "sect" (cut)
  • "bisect": root "sect" (cut)
  • "intransigent": root "trans" (across) and "ig" (to drive), no. So maybe the "cut" group is intersect, bisect.
  • For "across":
  • "transfer": "trans" (across) + "fer" (carry) → carry across.
  • "intersect": "inter" (between) + "sect" (cut) → cut across (so it can also be in "across"? Wait, maybe my initial analysis was wrong. Let's re - categorize:
  • "transfer": "trans" (across) + "fer" (carry) → across group.
  • "intersect": "inter" (between) + "sect" (cut) → but "inter" can also mean across? Wait, "inter" means between, but "trans" means across. So "transfer" (trans - across), "intersect" (inter - between, but the action is cutting across), maybe "intersect" can be in both? No, the problem says "according to the meanings of their shared roots". Let's use the root meanings:
  • "trans" means across: transfer (trans - across + fer - carry), intersect (inter - between + sect - cut, but the "across" idea is there as it's cutting across), and intransigent: "in" (not) + "trans" (across) + "ig" (to drive) → not moving across (stubborn). So "across": transfer, intersect, intransigent.
  • For "before; forward":
  • "propel": "pro" (forward) + "pel" (drive) → drive forward.
  • "prognosticate": "pro" (before) + "gnost" (know) → know before (predict).
  • "proceed": "pro" (forward) + "ceed" (go) → go forward.
  • "projection": "pro" (forward) + "ject" (throw) → throw forward.
  1. Correct categorization:
  • "cut": intersect, bisect (both have "sect" root meaning cut)
  • "across": transfer, intersect, intransigent (transfer: trans - across; intersect: cut across; intransigent: not moving across)
  • "before; forward": propel, prognosticate, proceed, projection (pro - before/forward)

But let's do it properly:

  • Cut: intersect (sect - cut), bisect (sect - cut)
  • Across: transfer (tra…

Answer:

  • cut: intersect, bisect
  • across: transfer, intransigent
  • before; forward: propel, prognosticate, proceed, projection
