Question 7

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the options:

• Prefixes: These are added before word roots, not the main components of compound terms.
• Suffixes: These are added after word roots, not the main components of compound terms.
• Synonyms: Words with similar meanings, not related to forming compound terms.
• Word roots: A compound term is formed by combining two or more word roots (e.g., "cardi" + "logy" in "cardiology").

We analyze the meaning of "myopic":

• Nearsighted: "Myopic" means having difficulty seeing distant objects clearly, which is nearsighted.
• Cross eyed: Refers to a condition where eyes are misaligned, not related to "myopic".
• Wall eyed: Also a misalignment condition, not related.
• Farsighted: Opposite of nearsighted, can see distant objects well.

Answer:

D. Word roots
