what does tract mean in attractive
a. stop, stand still
b. drag, pull
c. move, go
d. im not sure
To determine the meaning of the root "tract" in "attractive", we analyze word roots. The root "tract" comes from Latin and means "drag, pull". In "attractive", the prefix "at - " (a variant of "ad - ", meaning "toward") combined with "tract" implies drawing or pulling toward, which aligns with the meaning of "attractive" (having the power to draw or pull interest, etc.). Option A ("stop, stand still") is opposite, and Option C ("move, go") is too general. Option D is not correct as we can determine the meaning.
