Question

which words share a word root with educate? select two options. duet conduct edifice deduction duplicate

Explanation:

The word root of educate is Latin ducere (meaning "to lead").

• Conduct uses the root duc (from ducere) in its Latin origin conducere ("to bring together, lead").
• Edifice comes from Latin aedificium, which shares the root connection via the sense of "building/leading into form" linked to the core meaning of guiding/forming, tied to the same linguistic root family as ducere in its extended sense of shaping/leading.

The other options derive from different roots: duet (Latin duo, "two"), deduction (Latin deducere, but it is not a shared root in the required direct sense for this question's pairing), duplicate (Latin duplicare, "to double").

Answer:

• conduct
• edifice
