📖Definition
In these questions you're given two sets of three words. Your task is to find a word from the second set that can be placed after one of the words in the first set to make a new word.
✏️Example
( sky dark day )
( break sun night )
Knowledge Required
A good vocabulary.
✅How To Answer
Try all the combinations. Start with the first word in the first set of brackets ie. sky.
Now see if any of the words in the second set of brackets can be placed after it to form a new word.
skybreak skysun skynight
None of those are words so try dark
darkbreak darksun darknight
Again, none of those are words so try day
daybreak daysun daynight
daybreak is a word so that's our answer.
skybreak skysun skynight
None of those are words so try dark
darkbreak darksun darknight
Again, none of those are words so try day
daybreak daysun daynight
daybreak is a word so that's our answer.
The problems are slightly trickier when the newly formed word isn't a true compound word, that is, its meaning isn't linked to the two words that form it.
For example: see + page = seepage whose meaning has nothing to do with seeing or pages. Its structure is actually seep + age.
However, if you follow the method above and are prepared for some surprises (the pronunciation of the words can alter when they're put together), you should be able to answer these questions easily.
✏️Example
( dine no write )
( table age wing )
Using the method above, try dine with each of the words in the second set of brackets.
dinetable
dineage
dinewing
None of these are words so try no
notable
noage
nowing
notable is a word. Its meaning isn't derived from the two words no and table, its meaning is 'something that's worth noting'.
