Question

Using root words as clues, decide which word best completes this sentence.

Answer 1

1) The answer to your question would be "conductor" (d). That is, the sentence would be as follows: The conductor held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal. The orchestra needs to be directed by someone, so "conductor" is the right answer.

2) The word set that completes the analogy is the following one: Retain: release (a). First of all, "misplace" means "put an object in the wrong place and so lose it temporarily" and "regain" means "obtain possession or use of again after losing it". Therefore, retain/release completes the analogy because the first one means "continue to have, keep possession of" and "release" means "allow or enable to escape from confinement, set free".

3) The word "histerically" means "in a way that cannot be controlled" (c). "Histerically" means "with widly uncontrolled emotion".

Answer 2

1. Your answer is D. Conductor. The CONDUCTOR held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal.
2. Your answer is A. Retain : release. So - Misplace : regain :: retain : release.
3. In the sentence "The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's joke," the word "hysterically" means C. in a way that cannot be controlled.
