meaning of the prefix or root word.

0 points: Other

Example of 3 point response:

The word “misinformation” means to “wrong information.” I know this because “mis” means “wrong” and information means knowledge you gather, so the whole word must mean wrong information or wrong knowledge you gather.

Example of 2 point response:

The word “misinformation” means “incorrect information”. I know this because information means data – so misinformation must mean to wrong information / data.

Examples of a 1 point response:

The word “misinformation” means bad information.

The word misinformation has to do with getting information that’s not right.
