Question

use the sentence to answer the question.
a laptop is much more portable than a large desktop computer.
the latin root word port means “carry.” what does the bold word in the sentence mean?
(1 point)

large and heavy
able to be easily carried
small and lightweight
not able to be easily carried

Explanation:

The Latin root "port" means "carry". The word "portable" is formed from this root. So we analyze the options: "large and heavy" is opposite to the meaning of portable. "small and lightweight" describes size/weight but not the ability to be carried. "not able to be easily carried" is also opposite. "able to be easily carried" matches the root meaning and the context of laptop vs desktop portability.

Answer:

B. able to be easily carried
