Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots. hyperactive hypersensitive hypercritical rearm hyperventilate armament above; beyond shield

The prefix "hyper -" means above or beyond, so hyperactive, hypersensitive, hypercritical, and hyperventilate belong to the "above; beyond" category. The root "arm -" is related to shield or weapon, so rearm and armament belong to the "shield" category.

Answer:

above; beyond: hyperactive, hypersensitive, hypercritical, hyperventilate
shield: rearm, armament
