In that time climate hasfluctuated drastically, from ice ages lasting tens of thousands of years to epochs ofsteamy heat. With each change, sundry species have benefited and flourished. Othersadapted, faltered, or died.Now, many experts believe, humans are imperiling their own ecological niche withthe threat of global warming. The vaporous by-products of civilization, in the form ofgreenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), have trapped enough heat in the atmosphere to raise Earth\s average surface air temperature a half degree Celsius (one degreeFahrenheit) during this century. If the trend continues, it could alter climate patternsworldwide — thawing glaciers, boosting sea level, scorching plains into deserts, andshifting vegetation zones.Or it might not. Global climate depends on combinations of factors interacting insubtle and complex ways that we do not yet fully understand. It is possible that thewarming observed during this century may have resulted from natural variations, eventhough the increase has been much more rapid than what the planet has witnessed over thepast hundred centuries. Moreover, the supercomputer simulations used to project futureconditions may not be accurate.—57 The English word continues is associated byderivation with teneoµ, the Latin word that means1 try3 hold2 fear4 place53 Which Latin word, paired with its English meaning, is associated by derivation with the Englishword fluctuated?1 florµ eoµ — bloom3 flucµ tus — wave2 flamma — flame4 firmoµ — strengthen58 The English word interacting is associated byderivation with the Latin word1 ager3 rapioµ2 agoµ4 tresµ54 The English word benefited is associated byderivation with the Latin word1 necoµ3 barbarus2 nuµntioµ4 bonus59 The English word possible is associated by derivation with possum, the Latin word that means1 decide3 capture2 send4 can55 The English word humans is associated byderivation with the Latin word1 homoµ3 horror2 honor4 hoµra60 Which Latin word, paired with its English meaning, is associated by derivation with the Englishword century?1 tunc — then2 enim — for3 ubique — everywhere4 centum — hundred56 Which Latin word, paired with its English meaning, is associated by derivation with the Englishword civilization?1 cêvis — citizen3 castra — camp2 canis — dog4 caelum — skyComp.
