Circa/Circum is a Latin prefix which means “around, about, or at the side of.” If Magellan circumnavigated (another Latin word: navigare--to sail) the world, then we know he sailed around it.
Com/Con is one of the most common Latin prefixes, meaning "with.” Are you compassionate about something? That means you do it with passion.
Contra is simply contrary. It means that you are against something. If you contradict someone, you speak against them.
Based upon your knowledge of Latin prefixes, and just because you are smart, match the words with their meanings in this document.
