As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of know the common Latin and Greek roots. There are Latin and Greek root words that mean “light”. Today’s questions present four answer choices. Three of them are root words that mean light. Two of them are Latin roots and the other one is a Greek root. In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide, I present these three root words that mean light. I present them in chart form with their definitions and examples of each. Make sure you review Latin and Greek prefixes, root words, and suffixes to boost your ASVAB vocabulary score. Do you know the Latin and Greek roots for the word light?
I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
