Question

time to have some fun with words!
latin roots
i stood under a blanket of innumerable stars
and felt infinitely small.
what does the root num- mean?
a. bright c. count
b. island d. without

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the Latin root "num -", we analyze the word "innumerable" from the sentence "I stood under a blanket of innumerable stars...". The word "innumerable" means too many to be counted. Breaking it down, "in -" means "not" and "num -" (along with the rest of the word structure) relates to counting. Option a (bright) and b (island) have no relation to the concept of the word "innumerable". Option d (without) is the meaning of "in -" here, not "num -". So "num -" means "count".

Answer:

c. count
