近年來（98 年到 107 年）公職考試的英文試題中單字占了相當重的比 例，其中又以易混淆或比較性的單字為重，如下： ：Jolie demonstrated her by showing talents in sports, music, and fine arts. timidity
flexibility
fidelity
versatility 【關三】
上題中、、、四個選項中，字根均有〔-ity〕，差異只在〔 timid-〕或〔flexibil-〕或〔fidel-〕或〔versatil-〕等字首，均為詞性的延伸 ，故本篇乃以字母排列為主，有相似之字根或字首時，便為各位學員做出比 較圖表，以為方便使用，悉請一一熟稔之！（如下） admit
承認 allow
commit
犯；委託
emit
發出 send out
intermit
中止
submit
順服；屈服；提出
omit
省略 leave out
permit
允許
remit

表單字乃以〔-mit〕為字根，加上許多字首便成許多不同意義的單字來 ，見到比較圖表時，望請多多研習之！ 此外，在適當回數之後有試題觀摩：一為 102 年之前歷屆試題字首詞 彙練習八回、一為 103 年以後最新試題總練習三回。可先熟稔前者，再挑戰 後者！
