Question

1. what is the meaning of the root in covert?

○ to stop
○ to turn
○ to quiet
○ to escape

Explanation:

The word "covert" has the root "vert" (from Latin "vertere") which means "to turn". We analyze the meaning of the root: "vert" - related to turning (e.g., "convert" means to turn into something else, "revert" means to turn back). The other options ("to stop", "to quiet", "to escape") do not match the root's meaning.

Answer:

B. to turn (assuming the second option is labeled B; if the original options had labels like A, B, C, D, adjust the label as per the original, but here based on the options, the correct one is "to turn" which is the second option)
