Question

1. if the latin root inflatus means \blow,\ what does inflation mean? full of air full of expansion act of expanding not expanding

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "inflation" using the Latin root "inflatus" (meaning "blow"), we analyze the suffix "-ion", which typically denotes an action or process. "Blow" relates to expanding (e.g., blowing air into a balloon causes expansion). "Full of air" (first option) is more descriptive of a state, while "inflation" is an action/process. "Full of expansion" is awkward phrasing. "Not expanding" is the opposite. So "act of expanding" matches the root (blow implies expanding) and the "-ion" suffix (action).

Answer:

C. act of expanding (assuming the options are labeled A - D with A: full of air, B: full of expansion, C: act of expanding, D: not expanding)
