Question

the latin root tang means touch. circle the synonym for untouchable. untangled intanglble noncontagious choose the best linking phrase from the box to connect the clauses. then explain your choice. in fact above all even though most classes only teach three states of matter, most matter in the universe is actually a fourth state: plasma!

Explanation:

For the first part, "untouchable" means not able to be touched. "Intangible" means not having a physical presence, not able to be touched, which is a synonym. "Untangled" means not knotted, and "non - contagious" means not able to spread a disease.

For the second part, "even though" is used to show a contrast. The first clause says most classes only teach three states of matter (a limitation), and the second clause says most matter in the universe is actually a fourth state (a contrasting fact). "In fact" is used to add more information to support a statement, and "above all" is used to emphasize the most important thing.

Answer:

1. Intangible
2. Even though; because it shows the contrast between what most classes teach (limitation) and the actual state of most matter in the universe (contrasting fact).
