Question

the root cede means go or yield. what does the word accede mean? to soothe a hurt or injury to change for the better to agree to

Explanation:

The root "cede" means "go" or "yield". The prefix "ac - " can mean "toward" or "to". So "accede" combines "ac - " (toward) and "cede" (yield/go), so it means to agree to (yield to a request, etc.). The first option is related to soothing (not related to "cede"), the second is about improving (not related to "cede"). So the correct meaning is "to agree to".

Answer:

to agree to
