Question

word meaning quick check
which words might be the guide words on a dictionary page for adage? (1 point)
○ adapt and administration
○ acumen and adactyly
○ added and address
○ acute and additional

Explanation:

To determine guide words for "adage", we check alphabetical order. "Adage" starts with "ada - ". "Adapt" starts with "ada - " (comes before "adage") and "administration" starts with "adm - " (comes after "adage"). Other options: "acumen" (acu - ) and "adactyly" (ada - but "adactyly" is less common and not in the right range), "added" (add - ) and "address" (add - ) are after "adage" range, "acute" (acu - ) and "additional" (add - ) are outside the "ada - " to "adm - " range for "adage". So "adapt and administration" are the correct guide words.

Answer:

adapt and administration
