Question

sort the words according to the meanings of their shared roots.
superannuated recollection annuity
electorate neglect predilection
year choose

Explanation:

• "superannuated": The root "ann" means year. "Superannuated" refers to being too old (related to years of age).
• "annuity": The root "ann" means year. An annuity is a financial product paid out over a series of years.
• "electorate": The root "lect" (from "legere" meaning choose). The electorate is the group of people who choose (vote).
• "neglect": The root "lect" (from "legere" meaning choose). "Neglect" implies not choosing (to pay attention).
• "predilection": The root "lect" (from "legere" meaning choose). "Predilection" is a preference (a chosen liking).
• "recollection": The root here is not related to "year" or "choose" in the context of the given sorting. But for the task:
• Words with "year" root: "superannuated", "annuity"
• Words with "choose" root: "electorate", "neglect", "predilection"

Answer:

• year: superannuated, annuity
• choose: electorate, neglect, predilection
