From: Teach Yourself Greek (Smith and Melluish)
Hector was a plutocrat (51)and grew prize chrysanthemums (52-3). He kept a
pet hippopotamus (54-5) and owned the Hippodrome theater. He studied orthodox (56)
theology (57-8), and what with walking among rhododendrons (59-60), brandishing a
scepter, declaiming topical (61) epitaphs (62) before the microphone (63-4), and calling
upon the hierarchy (65) to exorcise (66) his bacteria, he became an atheist and
interested in polygamy (67-8). Then he rode a cycle around the cenotaph (69), studying
arithmetic (70-1) and biology (72) aloud. Then he tried cosmetics (73) and strategy
(74), contracted ophthalmia (75) and chronic (76) hydrophobia (77) and turned a
diabolical (78) heliotropic (79-80) color.

2004 NJCL Latin Derivatives Test

Read the following four passages and from context select the proper synonym. (1-60)
Passage 1: Emerson, Self-Reliance
I read the other day some verses written by an eminent (1) painter which were
original and not conventional (2). The soul always hears an admonition (3) in such
lines. The sentiment (4) they instill is of more value than any thought they may contain
(5). To believe your own thought--that is genius. Speak your latent (6) conviction (7),
and it shall be the universal (8) sense...A man should learn to detect (9) and watch that
gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre (10) of the
firmament (11) of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses (12) without notice his thought,
because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize (13) our own rejected thoughts;
they have come back to us with a certain alienated (14) majesty (15). Great works of
art have no more affecting (16) lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our
spontaneous (17) impression with good-humored inflexibility (18) then most when the
whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, tomorrow a stranger will say with
masterly good sense precisely (19) what we have thought and felt all the time, and we
shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion (20) from another.

Passage 2: Stevenson, Treasure Island

They exchanged (21) guns, and Trelawney, silent (22) and cool as he had been
from the beginning of the bustle, hung a moment on his heel to see that all was fit for
service (23). At the same time, observing (24) Gray to be unarmed (25), I handed him
my cutlass (26)...It was plain (27) from every line of his body that our new hand was
worth his salt.
Forty paces (28) farther we came to the edge of the wood and saw the stockade
in front of us. We struck the enclosure (29) and seven mutineers (30) appeared.

Passage 3: Hardy, The Return of the Native

For mummers Eustachia had the greatest contempt (31). The mummers
themselves were not afflicted (32) with any such feeling for their art. A traditional (33)
pastime (34) is to be distinguished (35) from a mere (36) revival (37)...in the revival all is
excitement and fervor (38), the survival (39) is carried on with a stolidity (40) and
absence of stir which sets one wondering why a thing that is done so perfunctorily (41)
should be kept up at all. The agents seem moved by an inner compulsion (42).
In this refurbishing age a fossilized (43) survival may be known from a spurious (44)
reproduction (45).

Passage 4: Yeo and Ward, A History of the Roman People

Rumors (46) of fresh trouble along the Danube caused the emperor to hasten
north in 178. After a long and strenuous (47) campaign (48) he crushed the resistance
(49) of the Quadi. He established (50) a new legionary (51) camp on the Danube at
Regensburg and proceeded (52) to create (53) two new provinces (54) by annexing (55)
a vast (56) territory (57)...Thus he hoped to shorten and strengthen the northern
frontiers (58) against future (59) assaults (60).

Passage 2: There are in the souls of wicked men those hellish principles (15, 40) reigning (16, 41),
that would presently (17, 42) kindle and flame (18, 43) out into hell fire, if it were not for Gods
restraints. There is laid in the very nature of carnal (19, 44) man a foundation (20, 45) for the
torments (21, 46) of hell. There are those corrupt (22, 47) principles, in reigning power (23, 48) in
them, and in full possession (24, 49) of them, that are seeds of hell fire. These principles are active
(25, 50) and powerful, exceedingly (26, 51) violent (27, 52) in their nature, and if it were not for the
restraining hand of God upon them, they would soon break out, they would flame out after the same
manner as the same corruptions, the same enmity (28,53) does in the hearts of damned (29, 54)
souls...The souls of the wicked are in scripture (30, 55) compared (31, 56) to the troubled seas...Sin
is the ruin (32,57) and misery (33, 58) of the soul; it is destructive (34, 59) in its nature; and if God
should leave it without restraint,(35, 60) there would need be nothing else to make the soul perfectly
(36, 61) miserable. The corruption of the heart of man is immoderate (37, 62) and boundless in its
fury (38, 63);...whereas if it were let loose, it would set on fire the course (39, 64) of nature...

Passage 3: The problems facing a Hellenistic city (65, 85)--provided (66, 86) its interest (67, 87) did
not clash with that of one of the major (68) states--was not fundamentally (69) different (70, 88) from
those which a Classical (89) times used to be confronted (71, 90). One example (72, 91), taken from
the history of Apollonia on the Pontus, will suffice (73, 92) to demonstrate (74, 93) the point. (75, 94)
It was a city of modest (76) size, fully representative (77) of those urban (78, 95) communities (79,
96) that flourished (80,97) from one end to the other of the Hellenistic world...Its divine (81, 98) patron
(82, 99) had played an essential (83, 100) role (84) in colonization.

The text for this test consists of two passages from James Fenimore Coopers The Last of
the Mohicans. Words which are followed by a number are tested. Each section indicates
whether synonym or meaning of Latin root is wanted. All words are tested in context!
Passage 1: It was a feature peculiar (1,26) to the colonial (27) wars of North America, that the
toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered (2,28) before the adverse (3,29) hosts
(30) could meet. A wide and and apparently impervious (4) boundary of forests (31) severed (5)
the possessions (6) of the hostile (7) provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and
the trained European who fought at his side, frequently (8) expended (9,32) months in struggling
against the rapids (10,33) of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes (11,34) of the
mountains, in quest (12,35) of an opportunity (13,36) to exhibit (14,37) their courage (15,38) in
a more martial (16,39) conflict (17,40). But, emulating (18,41) the patience (19,42) and selfdenial (43) of the practised native (20,44) warriors, they learned to overcome every difficulty
(21,45); and it would seem that, in time, there was no recess (22,46) of the woods so dark, nor
any secret (47) place so lovely, that it might claim exemption (23,48) from the inroads of those
who had pledged their blood to satiate (24,49) their vengeance (25,50).
PartI: For numbers 1-25: Select the closest synonym (in context).

which were fissures (54,79) in the rocks, whence they could command (55,80) the approaches
(56,81) to the foot of the falls. In the center of the little island, a few short and stunted pines
(57) had found root...Here they secured (58,82) themselves, as well as circumstances (59,83)
would permit (60,84), among the shrubs and fragments (61,85) ...The opposite (62,86) shores no
longer presented (63,87) a confused (64,88) outline (65,89), but they were able...to distinguish
(66,90) objects (91).
A long and anxious (67,92) watch succeeded (68,93), but without any further evidences
(69,94) of a renewed attack; and Duncan began to hope that their fire had proved more fatal
(70,95) than was supposed, and that their enemies (71,96) had been effectually (72,97) repulsed
(73,98). When he ventured to express this impression (74,99) to his companion, it was met by
Hawkeye with an incredulous (75,100) shake of the head.

The ecclesiastical (1) sphere is practically mine. I am the architect (2) of churches, cathedrals, and
basilicas (3), from the asphalt base (4) in the crypts (5) of the catacombs (6), up to the apse (7) and
chimes (8) in the dome. I am the architect of monasteries for monks (9) and anchorites (10), and of
asylums (11) for orphans (12) and lepers and maniacs (13). Mine is the hierarchy (14) from the pope
on his dais (15) with his tiara, to the mitered bishop in his diocese, and the parish priest in his
presbytery (16). Deacons and acolytes (17), clergy and laity (18), papal encyclicals (19), diocesan
synods (20), parochial homilies (21), and all dogmatic (22) theology, with its mysteries and myriad
(23) topics--are mine. The Bible is mine from Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy of the Pentateuch...to
the Evangelists (24) of Christ, to the Epistles (25) and Apocalypse (26) of his Apostles, Epiphany
(27), Pentecost.(28)..the Gregorian tones (29) of litanies (30) and antiphons (31) are melodious (32)
through me, and I composed the canon (33) and liturgy (34) with its symbols (35).

During a period (61) of lethargy (62) I was petrified (63) at a phantom (64), bounding from my lexicon
(65), with this cataract (66) of phrases (67): 'Are you a Baptist (68), Methodist (69), Episcopalian (70),
Catholic (71), or Christian (72)? Without me you were anonymous (73). Do you stigmatize (74)
heresy (75) and schism (76), hypocrisy (77) and blasphemy (78)? Do you blame schemers (79)
against the Mosaic decalogue (80)? Do you impose anathemas (81) upon apostates (82), idolaters
(83) and atheists (84) or exorcise (85) the devil (86) and his demons (87) with their diabolical pomps
(88)? Are you zealous (89) for proselytes (90) and to baptize neophytes (91) after catechism (92)
and to canonize (93) orthodox (94) martyrs (95) with halos (96) and emblems (97), scandalizing (98)
frenzied (99) iconoclasts (100)?'

Read the following passage and select the closest SYNONYM for each word as used in this passage.
At age fifteen, appearances were mending (1)...her complexion improved (2), her features were
softened by plumpness and color, her eyes gained more animation (3), and her figure (4) more
consequence. Her love of dirt gave away to an inclination (5) for finery...she had the pleasure (6) of
sometimes hearing her father and mother remark on her personal (7) improvement...To look almost
pretty is an acquisition (8) of higher delight (9) to a girl who has been looking plain (10) the first fifteen
years of her life, than a beauty (11) from her cradle can ever receive (12).
Her time was so much occupied in lying-in and teaching the little ones, that her elder daughters were
inevitably (13) left to shift for themselves; and it was not very wonderful that Catherine, who by nature
(14) had nothing heroic about her, should prefer (15) baseball and running about the country at the
age of fourteen, to books--or at least books of information (16)--for, provided that nothing like useful
(17) knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection (18), she
had never any objection (19) to books at all. But from fourteen to seventeen she was in training (20)
for a heroine; she read all such works as heroines must read to supply (21) their memories (22) with
those quotations which are so serviceable (23) and so soothings in the vicissitudes (24) of their
eventful (25) lives.

Read the following passage. For the indicated words select the MEANING of the Latin ROOT
contained in the English word.
No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy (26) would have supposed her born to
be a heroine. Her situation (27) in life...her own person (28) and disposition (29), were all equally (30)
against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected (31) or poor, and a very
respectable (32) man...He had considerable (33) independence (34), and he was not in the least
addicted (35) to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful (36) plain (37) sense
(38), with a good temper (39) and with a good constitution (40). Instead of dying, as anyone might
expect (41), she lived on to enjoy (42) excellent (43) health herself...a fine (44) family (45) for the
number (46). The Morlands were in general (47) very plain. She had strong features (48)...not less
propitious (49) for heroism seemed her mind. She greatly preferred (50) cricket to the more heroic
enjoyments of infancy, nursing (51) a dormouse (52), feeding a canary (53)...If she gathered flowers
(54) it was for the pleasure (55) of mischief--at least it was so conjectured (56)...Such were her
propensities (57)--her abilities (58) were as extraordinary (59)...She was often inattentive (60) and
occasionally (61) stupid (62)....to repeat (63) the Beggar's Petition.

H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds, Chapter One
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century (1) that this world was being
watched keenly and closely (2) by intelligences (3) greater than man's and yet as mortal (4) as his own; that as
men busied themselves about their various (5) concerns (6) they were scrutinized (7) and studied (8), perhaps
almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient (9) creatures that swarm and
multiply (10) in a drop of water. With infinite (11) complacency (12) men went to and fro over this globe (13)
about their little affairs (14), serene (15) in their assurance (16) of their empire (17) over matter. It is possible
(18) that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as
sources (19) of human (20) danger (21), or thought of them only to dismiss (22) the idea of life upon them as
impossible or improbable (23). It is curious (24) to recall some of the mental (25) habits (26) of those departed
(27) days. At most, terrestrial (28) men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior (29) to
themselves and ready to welcome a missionary (30) enterprise (31). Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are
to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts (32) that perish (33), intellects vast (34) and cool and
unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious (35) eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans (36) against
us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment (37).

H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds, Chapter (38) One

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century (39) that this world was being
watched keenly and closely (40) by intelligences (41) greater than man's and yet as mortal (42) as his own; that
as men busied themselves about their various (43) concerns (44) they were scrutinized (45) and studied (46),
perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient (47) creatures (48) that
swarm and multiply (49, 50) in a drop of water. With infinite (51) complacency (52) men went to and fro over
this globe (53) about their little affairs (54), serene (55) in their assurance (56) of their empire (57) over matter
(58). It is possible (59) that the infusoria (60) under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the
older worlds of space (61) as sources (62) of human (63) danger (64), or thought of them only to dismiss (65)
the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable (66). It is curious (67) to recall some of the mental (68)
habits (69) of those departed (70) days. At most, terrestrial (71) men fancied there might be other men upon
Mars, perhaps inferior (72) to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary (73) enterprise (74). Yet across
(75) the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts (76) that perish (77),
intellects vast (78) and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious (79) eyes, and slowly and
surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment (80).
