which word contains the prefix meaning
ot\ and the latin root meaning \to feel, sense, or be aware of\?
oversee
interrupted
supervisor
insensitive

Explanation:

• insensitive: The prefix "in -" means "not". The Latin root "sens" means "to feel, sense, or be aware of". So "insensitive" means not sensitive (not feeling or aware in a proper way).
• oversee: The prefix "over -" means "above, beyond" (not "not").
• interrupted: The prefix "inter -" means "between, among" (not "not").
• supervisor: The prefix "super -" means "above, over" (not "not").

Answer:

insensitive
