Question

which stem means \believe\?
○ chron ○ cred
○ circum ○ inter
○ cor / cour ○ pend

Explanation:

To determine the stem meaning "believe", we analyze each option:

• "chron" relates to time (e.g., chronological).
• "circum" means around (e.g., circumference).
• "cor / cour" relates to heart or running (e.g., cordial, courier).
• "cred" comes from Latin "credere" meaning "to believe" (e.g., credible, credit).
• "inter" means between (e.g., intermission).
• "pend" relates to hanging or weighing (e.g., pendant, pending).

So "cred" is the stem meaning "believe".

Answer:

cred (the option with "cred" as the stem)
