Question 13Aim for about 35 seconds
Which word can go after “war” to make a new word?
Show the worked answer
Answer: C, den
How to work it out
war + den = warden.
Say each option after “war” and check it makes a real word.
Why the other options are wrong
A (ring): “warring” is not a real word, so “ring” cannot follow “war”. “warden” is.
B (shell): “warshell” is not a real word, so “shell” cannot follow “war”. “warden” is.
D (case): “warcase” is not a real word, so “case” cannot follow “war”. “warden” is.
E (coat): “warcoat” is not a real word, so “coat” cannot follow “war”. “warden” is.
