Explanation:

Question 63

The word part "holisto - " (from the root "hol - " or "holo - ") means "whole". For example, "holistic" refers to an approach that considers the whole system. "Life" is related to word parts like "bio - ", "together" might be related to "syn - " or "co - ", and "to live" is related to verbs or word parts like "viv - " or "bio - " in terms of action, so "whole" is the correct definition for "holisto - ".

In anatomical terminology, "proximal" is defined as the direction or position that is closest to the point of origin (such as the origin of a limb, like the shoulder for the arm). "Lateral" means away from the midline, "medial" means towards the midline, and "distal" means farther from the point of origin. So the term for the direction closest to the point of origin is "proximal".

Answer:

B. whole (assuming the options are labeled as A. life, B. whole, C. together, D. to live)
