As you discover several such islands and gradually enlarge each one, you will eventually see how they fit together; and then you will under¬stand the dynamics of the whole sentence. | WORD ROOTS 53 w HERE S A HINT J SYNONYMS AND ANTONYMS Some TOEFL test questions ask you to find the synonym or antonym of a word. If you are lucky the word will be surrounded by a sentence that helps you guess what the word means this is vocabulary in context but the test question could list just a synonym or antonym and four answer choices. In this case you have to figure out what the word means without any help from context clues. Questions that ask for synonyms and antonyms can be difficult because they require you to have a relatively large vocabulary. Not only do you need to know the word in question but you may be faced with four choices that are unfamiliar to you too. Usually the best strategy is to look at the structure of the word. See if a part of the word-the root-looks familiar. Often you will be able to determine the meaning of a word within the root. For instance the root of credible is cred which means to trust or believe. Knowing this you will be able to understand the meaning of incredible sacred and credit. Looking for related words that have the same root as the word in question can help you choose the correct answer-even if it is by process of elimination. Another way to dissect meaning is to look for prefixes and suffixes. Prefixes come before the word root and suffixes are found at the end of a word. Either of these elements can carry meaning or change the use of a word in a sentence. For instance the prefix can change the meaning of a root word to its opposite necessary unnecessary. A suffix like -less can change the meaning of a noun pain to painless. To identify most word parts-word root prefix or suffix-the best strategy is to think of words you already know that carry the same root suffix or prefix. Let what you know about those words help you find the meaning of words that are less familiar. Antonym questions can be problematic because you can easily forget that you are looking for opposites and mistakenly choose the synonym. Very often
