Question

1. which sentence from the passage best shows the connection between number roots and word roots? \its like the words are plants, and the roots feed them meaning.\ \think of it like math. if the root is your number base, like a square root, the prefixes and suffixes are operations that change the outcome while keeping the core value.\ \every word has a root, and once you find it, you can grow a whole forest of meaning.\ \if you add the prefix sub-, you get subaqueous—something that exists under the water.\

Explanation:

The second option directly compares number roots (like square - root as a number base) to word roots, with prefixes and suffixes as operations, showing the connection. The other options either just talk about word roots in general or give an example of a word with a prefix without relating to number roots.

Answer:

"Think of it like math. If the root is your number base, like a square root, the prefixes and suffixes are operations that change the outcome while keeping the core value."
