All 4 decoded correctly = 4; 3 of 4 = 3; 2 of 4 = 2; <2 = 1
Hints
- intervene = inter (between) + vene (come) = come between.
- malediction = mal (bad) + dict (say) + tion = bad speech / curse.
Misconceptions to watch
- Misidentifies affix (treats 'inter-' as 'in-').
- Translates root literally without context.
