Question 1

Why do we know so little about the life of William Shakespeare when we know
comparatively so much about the lives of his less accomplished peers? Our lack of
knowledge about Shakespeare has inspired countless conspiracy theories. The actual writing
of Shakespeare’s works has been attributed to others from contemporary playwrights
Christopher Marlowe and Ben Johnson to the brilliant Renaissance scientist and philosopher
Francis Bacon. Shakespeare was an immensely successful dramatist as well as a prosperous
property owner. Circumspect, and only too aware of the government-inspired branding of
Johnson, its torture of Thomas Kyd, and its murder of Marlowe, Shakespeare kept himself
nearly anonymous. Wary to the end, Shakespeare led a life virtually without memorable
incident, as far as we can tell.

a. Circumspect and wary are synonyms. In the context of the passage, what do they mean?

Circumspect and wary are unwilling to take a risk and all imply looking before you leap, but
each puts a unique spin on being careful in the face of risk or danger.

b. Write down two words that start with spect-!

Spectrum and spectacular

c. How do the roots circum- and spect- relate to the definition of circumspect?

Circumspect, which descends from Latin circum- ("around") and specere ("to look"), implies
the surveying of all possible consequences before acting or deciding (as in "he is circumspect
in business dealings”)

Question 2

The world around us is filled with sound. There are loud sounds and soft sounds. There are
pleasant sounds and unpleasant sounds. At this very moment, you are surrounded by sound.
Where does sound come from? How does it get to your ears? Why are there different kinds of
sound? The study of these questions about sound is called acoustics.

Imagine a cymbal hit with a drumstick. The cymbal shakes rapidly, and this vibration causes
the tiny particles in the air around it to vibrate. These vibrating air particles, called molecules,
bump into the air particles next to them and make them vibrate. This spreading vibration
moves outward in every direction from the cymbal in waves.

When a small object is made to vibrate, the sound waves move up and down very quickly.
This produces a high-pitched sound, like a high note in a song. When a large object is made
to vibrate, the sound waves move up and down more slowly. This produces a low-pitched
sound, like a low note in a song. Hitting a small cymbal makes a more high-pitched sound
than hitting a large cymbal.

a. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of acoustics word!

 Definition clues: relating to sound or the sense of hearing or musical instrument that is
not made louder by electrical equipment.
 Example clues: Dogs have a much greater acoustic range than humans.
 Synonym clues: audial, auditory, auricular, hearing, sound
 Antonym clues: nonauditory, electronic music.

b. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of vibration word!

 Definition clues: the act of vibrating, or an instance of vibratory motion.

 Example clues: powerful vibrations from an earthquake.
 Synonym clues: fluctuation, oscillation, pulse, reverberation, tremor, beating,
pulsation, quake.
 Antonym clues: stillness. steadiness. dullness. quiet.

c. Write the context clues that give a hint to the meaning of each of high-pitched word!

 Definition clues: a voice that is high-pitched is higher than usual

 example clues: He talks to his dog in the most ridiculous high-pitched voice.
 Synonym clues: piercing, shrill, acute, clarion, shrieky, treble.
 Antonym clues: low-pitched
