Question

what does the root cand mean in the word candescent? the candescent quality of the room was improved by the southern exposure. glowing condition pleasant beautiful

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "cand" in "candescent", we analyze the context. The sentence says the "candescent quality of the room was improved by the southern exposure". Southern exposure brings light, so a word related to light or brightness makes sense. "Glowing" relates to emitting light, which fits. "Condition" is too vague, "pleasant" and "beautiful" don't relate to the root's meaning about light.

Answer:

glowing
