The given words "aqua" and "aque" both refer to water. The other options, "warn," "year," and "under," do not have any relation to water. Therefore, the correct answer is "water."

Submit
5. Trans

Explanation

The correct answer is "across". "Across" means from one side to the other side of something, often implying movement or traversal. It suggests going over or through an obstacle or barrier. In the context of the given options, "across" is the most suitable word to describe the movement or position of something from one side to the other.

Submit
6. Hydro, hydr

Explanation

The given answer "water" is the correct one because the root words "hydro" and "hydr" both refer to water. The other options, "under," "warn," and "both ends or all sides," do not have any relation to water. Therefore, "water" is the most appropriate answer based on the given root words.

Submit
7. Ann, enni

Explanation

The given words "ann" and "enni" do not have any clear meaning or connection to the word "year". Therefore, it can be inferred that the correct answer "year" is unrelated to the given words and is likely a random selection.

Submit
11. Bene

Explanation

The word "bene" is an Italian word that translates to "good" in English. This is the correct answer because it accurately represents the meaning of the word.

Submit
13. Poly

Explanation

The word "poly" is a prefix that means "many" or "several." This prefix is commonly used in words like "polygon" (a shape with many sides) or "polygamy" (having multiple spouses). Therefore, the correct answer is "many, several."

Submit
14. Nov, neo

Explanation

The word "new" means something that is recently made or discovered. It can also refer to something that is not familiar or experienced before. In this context, "new" is used as an adjective to describe a person who believes in something. The other options provided do not fit the given context and do not make sense in relation to the word "new". Therefore, "new" is the correct answer.

Submit
15. Mal, male

Explanation

The given answer is "bad, evil". This is because "bad" and "evil" are synonyms, meaning they have similar meanings. Both words refer to something negative or morally wrong. The other options listed do not have the same meaning as "bad" or "evil".

Submit
16. Brev

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
17. Amphi

Explanation

The word "amphi" is a prefix that comes from the Greek word "amphi" meaning "both" or "all". Therefore, when we say "amphi" in relation to something, it implies that it has a presence or characteristic on both ends or all sides. In the context of the word "amphi" being associated with "water", it suggests that water surrounds or encompasses something from both ends or all sides.

Submit
18. Mon

Explanation

The word "warn" is the correct answer because it is the only word that does not have any relationship or connection with the other words in the list. The other words, "mon" (which seems to be an incomplete word), "water" (a noun), "large" and "great" (both adjectives), and "small" (an adjective) all have some similarity or association with each other, but "warn" stands out as the odd one out.
