Thank you. For number 2 I feel like it is either B or C...not sure
"graph" means what?

Which one can you DO?
1. The correct answer is A. What is unique to Audrey may not be unique to others. This statement doesn't make sense because uniqueness is subjective, meaning what may be unique to one person may not be unique to others. Therefore, Audrey's perception of Kyle being unique doesn't necessarily mean he is objectively unique.
To arrive at this answer, we can break down the statements and understand the concept of uniqueness. We start by understanding that uniqueness is subjective, as it is based on individual perceptions and experiences. Therefore, what one person considers unique may not be considered unique by others. This realization leads us to answer choice A, as it conveys this understanding.
2. The correct answer is B. Autograph.
To determine which word derives from a root word that's an action verb, we need to look for a word that contains an action verb as its root. In this case, the word "autograph" contains the root word "graph," which is an action verb meaning "to write." An autograph is a person's signature, which involves the action of writing one's name.
To arrive at this answer, we can examine each option for a potential root word that is an action verb. "Resonant" does not have an action verb root, as it is derived from the noun "resonance." "Microscope" is derived from the Greek roots "micro" meaning "small" and "skopein" meaning "to look." "Auditorium" is derived from the Latin word "audire" meaning "to hear." Only "autograph" contains the root word "graph," which is an action verb that means "to write."
18. The correct answer is C. fasten.
The root word "fix" in both "suffix" and "prefix" means to fasten or attach. In the context of these words, it refers to attaching something to the beginning (prefix) or end (suffix) of a word to modify its meaning.
To arrive at this answer, we can analyze the meanings of each option. "Say" (option A) does not relate to the meaning of "fix" in the context of suffix and prefix. "Organize" (option B) does not directly align with the meaning of "fix" in this context either. However, "fasten" (option C) matches the action of attaching or joining elements together, which is the meaning of "fix" in suffix and prefix. "Wish" (option D) does not relate to the meaning of "fix" in this context.
