Question

arnold rampersad wrote a biography to tell the story of jackie robinsons life.
what does the word that contains the stem probably mean?

a life that is shortened by illness or disease

story of someone elses life

to take someones life; murder

Explanation:

The word with the stem here is "biography". The stem "bio - " relates to life, and "graphy" relates to writing. A biography is a written account of someone else's life. The first option refers to a shortened life (not related to biography), the third is about taking a life (murder, not biography). So the correct meaning is the story of someone else's life.

Answer:

B. story of someone else's life (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being "a life that is shortened by illness or disease", B being "story of someone else's life", C being "to take someone's life; murder")
