Question

the circle is inside the square; therefore, it is circumscribed by the square. what does the word mean? ○ to write in a foreign language ○ to create a written copy ○ to write around

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "circumscribed", we analyze the context: a circle inside a square means the square encloses (writes around) the circle. The prefix "circum-" means "around", and "scribe" relates to writing. The first option (foreign language) and second (written copy) don't fit the geometric context. So "to write around" is correct.

Answer:

to write around
