    • A smile

    • Clothes

    • Hat

    • Scarf

    Correct Answer

The other options, such as "clothes", "scarf", and "a smile", are meant to distract the reader from the correct answer.

    What does the root word of credit mean? 

    • Faith

    • Money

    • Bank

    • Believe

    Correct Answer
    A. Believe
    Explanation
    The root word of credit is "believe." This is because credit is based on trust and belief in someone's ability to repay a debt or fulfill a financial obligation. When someone is given credit, it means that they are trusted to make payments on time and fulfill their financial responsibilities. Therefore, "believe" is the most appropriate explanation for the root word of credit.
