Explanation:

Question 15

In medical or etymological terms, the word part "Mater-" (from Latin "mater") means "mother". For example, "mater" in anatomical terms like "pia mater" etc. relates to the meaning of mother (in the sense of protective layers, but the root itself means mother). The other options: "membrane" is not the meaning of "Mater-", "little brain" is for "cerebell-" (cerebellum), and "mind" is not related to "Mater-".

The word part "Duro-" (from Latin "durus") means "hard". For example, "dura mater" (the tough outer membrane of the meninges) uses "duro-" to imply hardness. The other options: "ear or earflap" is related to "aur-", "divide" is not the meaning, and "eardrum" is "tympan-".

Answer:

mother (the option with "mother")
