Answer 2

1. Encoded look at the word and match it against the definition encoded has the word code in it.
2. Indoctrinate: indoctrination has a negative connotation surrounding it but for our purposes this is the answer
3. Irrelevant: if something is relevant then it applies to a situation so if something is irrelevant it’s not applicable to the situation.
4. Illiterate: someone that is able to read and write is literate so someone that is not able to is illiterate.
5. Invincible: if something is invincible it can’t be destroyed or in this case can’t be conquered.
6. Illaudable: to laud something is to praise it so if something is illaudable it’s not worthy of praise.
7. Irresponsible: part of responsibility is being dependable so if you’re not dependable you’re irresponsible
8. Impatient: if you’re patient then you’d be willing to wait so if you’re not willing to wait you’re impatient.
9. Irresistible: if you’re able to resist something then it’s not irresistible. Another way of putting that is to stand against something.
10. Illogical: if something makes sense it’s logical so if it doesn’t make sense then it’s illogical.
