Question

the circle is inside the square; therefore, it is circumscribed by the square. what does the word mean? ○ to write in a foreign language ○ to create a written copy ○ to write around

Explanation:

The word "circumscribed" in the context of a circle inside a square means the square encloses (writes around) the circle. The prefix "circum -" means around, so "circumscribed" relates to writing around. The other options (writing in a foreign language, creating a written copy) don't match the geometric/word - meaning context here.

Answer:

to write around
