Question

read the paragraph.
the ancient treasure chest was covered in dust and age - old engravings. inside, nestled among the gold coins and jewels, lay a small, intricately inscribed stone. the symbols carved into its surface seemed to shimmer in the light, telling a story of forgotten kings and lost kingdoms. it became clear that this was not just treasure, but a map leading to even greater riches hidden deep within the mountains.
which word from the paragraph contains a latin root meaning \to write\?
a. inscribed
b. symbols
c. carved
d. engravings

Explanation:

The Latin root "scrib" or "script" means "to write". "Inscribed" comes from the Latin "inscribere", which combines "in - " (into) and "scribere" (to write). Symbols are signs or representations, "carved" refers to cutting into a surface, and "engravings" are carvings but their root doesn't directly relate to the Latin "to write" root as clearly as "inscribed".

Answer:

A. inscribed
