3 if you __ agree with the authors opinion, you should write a para__ explaining your own point of view

Explanation:

These are vocabulary exercises where we need to complete the words with the correct prefixes or suffixes based on context:

1. The context refers to a personal signature from an author, so we use the prefix "graph-" for "autograph". The ink was not clear enough, so we use the prefix "in-" for "indistinct".
2. The context is about removing a splinter, so we use the prefix "ex-" for "extract". The attempt failed, so we use the suffix "-ful" for "unsuccessful".
3. The context is about disagreeing with an opinion, so we use the prefix "dis-" for "disagree". We need to write a short part explaining a view, so we use the suffix "-graph" for "paragraph".

Answer:

1. The famous author signed a personal autograph for the fan, but the ink was so indistinct that you could not read the name.
2. I tried to extract the splinter from my finger, but I was unsuccessful because it was buried too deep.
3. If you disagree with the author's opinion, you should write a paragraph explaining your own point of view.
