Question

yeamin saw this word in her vocabulary list.
monocracy
what is the most likely way yeamin determined the
meaning of \monocracy\ as being related to
uling\?
the context clues
the prefix
the suffix
the word root

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "monocracy" related to "ruling", we analyze word parts. The word root "cracy" (from "kratos") means "rule" or "government". Context clues aren't used here (it's a vocabulary list, no context). The prefix "mono-" means "one", not related to "ruling". The suffix here (if any) isn't the key for "ruling"—the root "cracy" is. So the word root is the way.

Answer:

the word root
