Question

q: what does ex- mean in export
a. within, inside of
b. without, outside of
c. out of, from
d. i’m not sure

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the prefix "ex - " in "export", we analyze the word's meaning. "Export" means to send goods or services out of a country for trade. The prefix "ex - " here conveys the idea of "out of" or "from". Option a is incorrect as "within" or "inside of" would be related to a prefix like "in - " or "intra - ". Option b's "without, outside of" is not the best fit for the meaning in "export" as "export" is about sending out from a place, not just being outside. Option d is not a valid answer as we can determine the meaning. So the correct option is c.

Answer:

c. out of, from
