“Read the sentence: "The scientist hypothesized that the new drug would reduce inflammation." Based on the root word "hypo" meaning "under" or "less," and the suffix "ize" meaning "to make," what is your understanding of the word "hypothesized" in this context? Read the sentence: "The student felt a sense of disbelief upon receiving the acceptance letter." The prefix "dis-" means "not" or "opposite of." How does this prefix contribute to your understanding of the word "disbelief"?”
