Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots.
formable infinitesimal uniform
definite formation finish
end shape

Explanation:

• For "end" category:
• The word "infinitesimal" has the root "fin" which is related to "end". "Infinitesimal" means extremely small, and "in - " is a negative prefix, so it implies something that is not having a definite end in a sense (very small, almost approaching a limit which can be thought of in terms of "end - like" concepts in calculus, but here in terms of root meaning). "Definite" has "fin" as its root. "De - " is a prefix, and "finite" (from which "definite" is derived) means having an end or limit. "Finish" also has the root "fin" meaning to bring to an end.
• For "shape" category:
• "Formable" has the root "form" which means shape. "Uniform" has "uni - " (one) and "form" (shape), meaning having one shape. "Formation" has the root "form" related to the process of giving shape.

Answer:

• end: infinitesimal, definite, finish
• shape: formable, uniform, formation
