Question

Janette lost her gymnastics scholarship after she developed vertigo and kept falling off the balance beam. What does "vertigo" mean as it is used in this reading? Use this dictionary entry to help answer the question: vert- (prefix) turn

Answer 1

Answer:

Vertigo is a sensation of dizziness and loss of balance

Explanation:

Vertigo in particular can impact people looking down from a certain height, so standing on a balance beam can cause Janette to get dizzy (or, using the vert- prefix, turned around) and fall off the balance beam.
