Well I only knew 4 out of 10 which goes to show I need to study my prefixes a little more.

The first time I went through the quiz, the definition was first, followed by the term. I had trouble guessing the words!
Then I noticed that I could select the word first, which helped me. Also, to review I selected side by side, term and definition.
I have trouble with this two words(dismal and disposable) so,I look -up the meaning in the dictionary.
