appear in the word.
b. Check for Inflectional words.

3. Below are listed some words followed by incorrect definitions.
1. Tennet (a group of ten singers)
2. Dermatology (a study of derms)
3. Ingenious (not very smart)
For each of the incorrect definition, give some possible reasons why the
students made the guesses.
The Possible Reasons
a. Tennet; the possible reason for that probably because it stands for ten –
entertainer as it have the word ten and net that could represent for
entertainment.
b. Dermatology; the possible reason for this one is the word dermatology
stands for derma and tology. Since tology meant for studying certain
subject or lesson, and since the front word from tology is derma or in a
more subtle meaning as for skin disease. Therefore it’s possible that the
word dermatology meant for studying a subject called derma or skin
disease.
c. Ingenious; while for ingenious, it’s clear that some student may say that
this word has meaning for stupid or not so smart person, the reason
may occur when students saw the word genious as meant for genius
and in front of the word has a word of in, since most of the word in is
meant for negates some another word, so student may consider
ingenious as not very smart person.
