Explanation:

Question 11

The roots "man" and "manu" (from Latin) mean "hand". For example, "manual" relates to hands (like a manual task done by hand), "manufacture" originally meant making by hand. Option A is "foot" (root "ped"), C is "together" (root "syn - " etc.), D is "to do" (different root). So the correct option is about hand.

In the word "tripod", "tri" is a prefix. "Tripod" means a three - legged stand. The prefix "tri - " comes from Greek/Latin and means "three". Option A "hold" (root "ten - "), B "attempt" (root "tempt - "), C "strong" (root "fort - ") don't match. So "tri" means three.

In the word "biped", "bi" is a prefix. A "biped" is an animal with two feet (like humans). The prefix "bi - " means "two" (from Latin/Greek, e.g., "bicycle" has two wheels). Option A "three" (prefix "tri - "), B "four" (prefix "quad - "), D "strong" (root "fort - ") are incorrect. So "bi" means two.

Answer:

B. hand
