Remembering that the Latin prefix “dis” means “not,” use your knowledge of the prefix and the context clues in the passage to determine the meaning of dissemble. Write your definition of dissemble here and explain how you arrived at it.

Since “dis” means “not,” I can use my prior knowledge of vocabulary as well as my knowledge of prefixs’. The root of dissemble is assemble, which I know means to put together. Combining that with the prefix of “dis” means dissemble means to take something apart. Hope this helps!
