Improving Vocabulary with Word Parts and Context Clues

Question 5 • WCA - English 1A

Use context clues and word roots to determine which word best completes the sentence.What you just said was a complete ________. How does it relate to what you said before?

Answer
A
carte blanche
B
quid pro quo
C
déjà vu
D
non sequitur

Explanation

A non sequitur is a statement or conclusion that does not logically follow from what came before; the roots mean roughly “it does not follow.” The speaker is asking how the comment relates to the previous one, so “non sequitur” best completes the sentence. “Quid pro quo” means an exchange, while “déjà vu” means the feeling that something has happened before.
