Question 15 • OK-English IV A-CR

Which pair of words shares the same word root?

Answer
A
capable, readable
B
rewritten, revision
C
barber, unbearable
D
inspect, spectacles

Explanation

“Inspect” and “spectacles” share the root spect, meaning “look” or “see.” To inspect is to look at something closely, and spectacles help you see. The other pairs have different roots: “capable” and “readable” do not share a root, and “rewritten” comes from “write” while “revision” comes from a root meaning “see.”
