The word "spectacular" comes from Latin roots that mean to look at. A "spectacle" is something that we watch because it is amazing. Also, we call glasses "spectacles" because we look through them. A "spectator" is someone who watches something. Therefore, when something is "spectacular," it is so amazing that it draws a lot of attention. Such a thing is not merely "interesting" or "important." It is "remarkable" and amazing. Hence, the best option is "remarkable."

The prefix "extra-" means beyond or outside and the "-terre-" part of "extraterrestrial" comes from the root "terra," meaning earth, so it makes sense that an “extraterrestrial” is a living creature originating from beyond earth, oran alien.

The roots -vers- and -vert- mean turn. As in, "revert" which means turn back, return to a previous state. "Versatile" means adaptable, able to change to suit different environments or situations.

Additionally, "viable" means workable, capable of being accomplished; "portable" means able to be moved, able to be carried; "incapable" means not capable, not able to do something; "incomprehensible" means not able to be understood. Based on these words what do you think the suffixes -able and -ible mean?

The root -mal- means bad. It is a very common prefix and appears in words like "malevolent" which means bad natured and "malicious" which means cruel. So, "dismal" must mean something bad.

To solve this synonym you have to examine the roots in the word "incredible." -cred- means believe and in- means not. So the word "incredible" means not believable, which is the same as "unbelievable."

Thus, it makes sense that "duo" means a pair. “Triplets” are sets of three of the same thing or three babies born at the same time to the same mother; a “trifecta” is a group of three great things working together; a “quartet” is a team of four.

The "fract-" part of "fracture" stems from the same roots as the words "fraction" (a portion of a whole) and "frangible" (breakable), so it makes sense that "fracture," when used as a verb, means break something hard.

As for the other answer choices, "include" means consider as part of a group; “bemoan” means complain about; “describe” means use words to share information about the characteristics of something or someone; “represent” means show using a visual or textual medium or stand in for.
