Sure! Here are the correct matches along with brief explanations:
1. Capitulate – to accept or surrender. This word comes from the Latin root *capit*, meaning “head,” implying that one is giving up control or “headship.”
2. Capitalize – to seize an opportunity. This term suggests taking advantage of a situation or fact, using it to gain an advantage.
3. Capricious – subject to sudden changes. This adjective describes behavior that is fickle and unpredictable, like the sudden changes of mind or mood.
4. Per capita – per person; divided by population. This phrase is used to express an average per person, often in economic contexts.
The Latin root meaning “head” relates to leadership or control, which is fitting for both *capitulate* and *capitalize*.
