**The Roots: Fal/Fals**

The Meaning: To deceive • (of a person) to cause (someone else) to believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage • to mislead by a false appearance or statement Example Words  Infallible (  adjective)--> incapable of making mistakes or being wrong  Fallacy (noun) --> a deceptive, misleading, or false notion   Falsetto  ( adjective) --> a method used by male singers to sing in an   unnaturally high range   Creative Story: The director, who was known for his outstanding scripts, was holding auditions for his new show. I loved the theater and couldn't wait to try out. However, I was disappointed when I found out that the main role was a female. I slowly walked away, slouching in anger. Just as I was about to walk out the door, I realized that I sang in the __**falsetto**__ range. I immediately auditioned. The director was amazed by my voice, so much so that he was willing to change the main role to a male. I told him that it was unnecessary as the role was fit for a female. However, I proposed the idea, that I could play a female in the show. With the right makeup and costumes, it would be considered a true **__fallacy__**. I anxiously waited to hear the director's thoughts on the idea. He was surprisingly thrilled, but warned that I must be **__infallible__** in order to pull this off. After weeks of hard work, the show turned out to be a complete success.
