Explanation:

1. For question 16, the prefix "bio -" often pertains to life or living organisms and can give a clue about a word's meaning related to biology. "graphy" and "phy" alone are less specific in providing a clear - cut biological clue. The combination of "bio" and "phy" together is incorrect as they are not combined in a standard meaningful way here.
2. For question 17:

• "port" means carry (e.g., transport).
• "geo" means Earth (e.g., geography).
• "dict" means speak (e.g., dictate).

Answer:

1. bio -
2. 1. port - a. Carry
3. 2. geo - c. Earth
4. 3. dict - b. Speak
