Guided Practice Read the passage. Circle the roots in the underlined words. On a separate piece of paper, write the meanings of the word parts and define the word.
My dog Sam has a belligerent personality. The moment he
becomes conscious of a cat, he gives chase. No matter what I do to
distract him, nothing works. The problem is intractable.
Hint
A root's meaning will
sometimes not fit well
with the definition of
the word. You'll need
to make an inference
(an educated guess) to
see the connection
between the root and
the meaning.
One day, Sam approached a stray cat, which raised its spiky fur,
bared its teeth, and took off after him. Sam returned later, dehydrated,
hot, and humble. But did Sam reform his behavior? No! My dog is just
too inflexible to change his habits.
