1. prevent, from ME, to anticipate-------amelioration

In linguistics, amelioration is the updating or rise of a word's importance, as when a word with a negative sense builds up a positive one. Likewise called melioration or elevation.

Amelioration is less basic than the inverse verifiable process, called pejoration.  

The word prevent is an exemplary case of amelioration.


2. lord, from OE hlaf weard (loaf keeper)----------generalization


In everyday language, a generalization is characterized as a wide proclamation or a thought that is connected to a gathering of individuals or things. Frequently, generalization are not by any stretch of the imagination genuine, on the grounds that there are normally precedents of people or circumstances wherein the speculation does not have any significant bearing. In this regard, generalizations can be like generalizations in that they are now and then hostile. A generalization is an explanation that is frequently valid, yet not totally valid in all cases.  


3. silly, from selig (happy)----------pejoration


In linguistics, pejoration is the minimizing or deterioration of a word's significance, as when a word with a positive sense builds up a negative one.  

Pejoration is substantially more typical that the contrary procedure, called amelioration.  

The word silly is an exemplary case of pejoration, or slow exacerbating of significance.


4. meat, from mete (food)-----------specialization


In linguistics, the term specialization, alludes to one of the five standards by which grammaticalization can be recognized while it is occurring.  

Specialization alludes to the narrowing of decisions that describes an emergent grammatical development. The lexical significance of a grammaticalizing highlight diminishes in extension, so that in time the element passes on a summed up syntactic importance

The error that this sentence makes is C. squinting modifier.
A squinting modifier is usually an adverb which makes a sentence somewhat unclear by changing the meaning of the words before or after it. So here, we aren't exactly sure whether the adverb <em>often </em>refers to driving cars often or the fact that driving cars can be expensive often.
