The way that a root word used to understand a text is : it provides the foundation of the word's meaning.
This way, we could know how to use the words in proper context and won't give ambiguous meaning.<span />
<span>1. In my opinion this situation is an example of wasting talent. Yes, Hanna has natural skill at field hockey, but she does not develop it. The lack of practice could cause the wasting of your natural skill. Natural skill = talent, so the answer is "wasting talent".
2. I think that this one is also an example of wasting talent. Even if Marcy is a very good math student, she should prove it by showing good results on tests. And the most important thing that she should expand her math knowledge and not to lose her potential. It also could be a result of getting distracted but there was no mention about this factor.

4. I am definitely sure that this situation is an example of allowing others to set goals. This situation gives him an additional motivation to rich his goal by proving his parents that being a teacher is his calling.
5. This situation is also a good example of allowing others to set goals. Father asks Noah to stay closer to hove, and gives him an opportunity to choose between family or career. According to what he chooses, he can set a particular set of goals.

7. If I understand it correctly, this situation is an example of allowing others to set goals. Because Jim has a choice between internship or working at the grocery to help himself and his father to get money for college. He should to think how to set his goals correctly.
8. I am completely sure that this one is an example of wasting talent. Ben sets his priorities wrong and he wastes his potential in wrestling because if he doesn't lose two pounds, he won't wreslte this week. It's important to keep in shape when you are doing sports.
9. If I got it right, this situation is an example of getting distracted. Ellen has lost her attention because of the loud music while she was driving her car with friends.
10. I am pretty sure that in this case it would be "wasting talent" option. Jose does not develop his natural skill to be a leader by practicing in real life. He wastes his potential and his talent without enough practice.</span>
