Iam currently down to my two courses of homeschool and im stuck on this question.?

Question

what is the percentage of words in an english dictionary that have latin or greek as thier source.

A.50%

b.60%

c.70%

d.80%

Answer 1

Total guess:  70%.  Many words are greek or latin, but there are still a large handful of words from the old english, pict/celt connection.

Answer 2

I would guess 50%

Remember, Old Germanic languages are half of the English vocabulary words.  The French (romance, latin) was the other half.  Plus there are many borrowed words.  I would bet 50%

Germanic lanuages are not latin in origin.

Answer 3

As you can see, we'd all just be guessing. You have to go with whatever is in your textbooks/lessons. One source might say one thing and another source something else. If you don't go with what your text says, you could end up having the wrong answer.
