In teaching a student how to use structural analysis to learn new words, which of the following words would be useful to demonstrate that skill?

A) Help
B) Abnormal
C) Maintain
D) Detail

1 answer

B) Abnormal

This word may be useful in demonstrating how to break down the word into its root (normal) and prefix (ab- meaning away from or not) to understand its meaning. This can help the student learn the word's definition and how to use the same structural analysis with other unfamiliar words.
