Gatsby did not receive the $25,000 in Cody's will because Ella Kaye cheated him out of it. He likely learned to be more aggressive when it comes to monetary gain, thus leading him to become the wealthy man he became.

Use the following definitions to answer the question. evade: 1. (verb) to cleverly escape somebody or something, to avoid invade
irina1246 [14]

The sentence that contains the correct word usage of evade versus invade is "Corn leaf aphids invaded the crop and caused damage to the plants." If we replace the word invaded with its definition we can see why. The sentence would read, "Corn leaf aphids entered the crop and caused damage to the plant. This makes sense. A corn leaf aphid is a pest, so it would not make sense if they evaded or left the plant and caused damage. That would be a good thing.

You can use the same technique to see why the other three sentences use the incorrect word.

<u>The thieves were able to invade being arrested by the police. </u>

This would read, "The thieves were able to enter being arrested by the police. This does not make sense. Rather, it should read, "The thieves were able to evade being arrested by the police." Thus, meaning they were able to cleverly escape being arrested.

<u>Guerrilla forces evaded the capital city and announced their power.</u>

This would read, "Guerrilla forces cleverly escaped the capital city and announced their power." While this sentence could make sense in the right context, it is more likely that they forcefully entered the capital city, or invaded it, in order to announce their power.

<u>Sheila tried to evade the private party by bribing the security guard.</u>

This would read, "Sheila tried to cleverly escape the private party by bribing the security guard." Again, this could make sense in the right context, but it is most likely that she bribed the security guard in order to enter a party that she wanted to intend. Therefore, the use of "invade" makes more sense.

Some one help me... i need to match the meaning's to the roots
Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. cogon - to know

(A Latin word meaning ‘to learn’ gives rise to the English word root cogn. Primarily because of French, the root conn also comes from this root.)

2. cap - to take, seize

(this root word means to seize or take control of and is the base for other words such as "captivate" that means to attract or capture. Therefore, the root word "cap" means to take, or seize rather than to do, see or carry.)

3. sta, sti - to stand

(Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to stand, set down, make or be firm," with derivatives meaning "place or thing that is standing.")

4. pli, plic - to fold

(The English stem plic comes from a Latin root word meaning ‘fold,’ as in to “bend over on itself” or “bend in two.”)

5. duc - to lead

(The Latin root words duc and duct mean to ‘lead.’ Some common English vocabulary words that come from this root word include educate, reduce, produce, and product.)

6. vert - to turn (The Latin root word vert means ‘turn.’. For instance, when you invert something, you ‘turn’ it on its head, or upside-down.)

7. voc, vok - to call

(The Latin root word voc and its variant vok both mean “call.” These roots are the word origins of a fair number of English vocabulary words, including vocal, vocabulary, invoke, and provoke.

8. mis - to send  

(A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a word. It changes the meaning of a word. Mis- is a prefix that is used in many words. Misunderstand, misguide, and misprint are all words that have the prefix mis- in them.)

9. ten, tain - to hold  

(The Latin root word ten means “hold.” This root is the word origin of many English vocabulary words, including maintenance, tenor, and tenacious)

10. nym - to name

(a combining form meaning “word,” “name”: pseudonym. [ultimately < Greek -ōnymos having the kind of name specified, comb. form representing ónyma, dial. variant of ónoma name])

Explanation:

The above are latin words and their meanings are next to each of them.
