Zorluk: OrtaGreek Roots

  1. A
    Rigid
  2. B
    Lifeless
  3. ShapelessCevap
  4. D
    Colorful

Cevap

Shapeless
The word amorphous derives from the Greek root *morph* (meaning form, shape, or structure) preceded by the Greek prefix *a-* (meaning without or lacking). Thus, amorphous means lacking a definite shape, form, or organization, which is accurately defined as shapeless.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Isolate the morphemes of the target word
The word consists of the Greek privative prefix a- (without, not) and the Greek root morph (form, shape, structure).
Analyzing the morphological components reveals the root definition of the unfamiliar word.
2
Synthesize the morpheme meanings with the sentence context
Combining 'without' and 'shape' yields 'lacking shape or structure', which aligns with a proposal needing defined parameters.
The sentence indicates that the proposal lacked clear structure and boundaries, confirming 'shapeless'.
