Explanation:

Question 9

To determine the meaning of "inscribe", we analyze the word's components. The prefix "in - " can mean "on" or "into", and the root "scribe" is related to writing (e.g., "scribe" as a writer, "transcribe" meaning to write out). So "inscribe" means to write on. "To speak forth" is related to "declare" (from "dict" root), "to see inside" is related to "inspect" (from "spect" root), and "to carve out of" is related to "excavate" or "carve" roots, not "scribe".

The word "inspect" has the root "spect" (or "spec"), which comes from Latin and means "to look" (e.g., "spectator" is one who looks, "speculate" involves looking/thinking). "To find" is related to roots like "find" or "discover", "to judge" to roots like "jud" or "crit", and "to listen" to roots like "aud" or "listen". So the root of "inspect" means to look.

Answer:

B. to write on (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: to speak forth, B: to write on, C: to see inside, D: to carve out of)
