    • Out

    • Carry

    • Leave

    • Center

    Correct Answer
    A. Out
    Explanation
    The underlined stem in the given words, "exhale" and "exit," means "out." This can be inferred from the meaning of these words. "Exhale" means to breathe out, while "exit" means to go out or leave. Additionally, the other words listed such as "carry," "leave," and "center" do not have the same meaning or connotation as "out." Therefore, the correct answer is "out."

    • Semicircle

    • Respiration

    Correct Answer
    A. Concentric
    Explanation
    The word "concentric" contains the stem meaning "center". The prefix "con-" means "together" or "with", and the root word "centric" comes from the Latin word "centrum", meaning "center". Therefore, "concentric" refers to something that has a common center or shares a center with something else.

    Spir = ________

    • Carry

    • Exhale

    • Light

    • Breathe

    Correct Answer
    A. Breathe
    Explanation
    The word "spir" is most closely associated with the action of breathing. This can be inferred from the other options provided, as they do not have a direct connection to the concept of breathing. "Carry" and "exhale" are related to actions involving movement or release, while "light" refers to brightness or weight. Therefore, "breathe" is the most appropriate choice for completing the word "spir".

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Spir= _________

    • Carry

    • Center

    • Breathe

    • Exhale

    Correct Answer
    A. Breathe
    Explanation
    The word "Spir" is most closely related to the word "breathe" because both words refer to the act of inhaling and exhaling air. "Carry" and "center" do not have a direct connection to "Spir" and "exhale" is related to breathing but does not match the given word. Therefore, "breathe" is the most appropriate answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    • Uni

    • Cle

    • Spir

    Correct Answer
    A. Cle
    Explanation
    The stem "cle" in the given question means "small". This can be inferred by looking at the options "bi", "uni", and "spir" which do not have the same meaning as "small". However, "cle" is commonly used as a suffix in words like "particle" and "molecule" to indicate something small. Therefore, "cle" is the correct answer as it aligns with the meaning given in the stem.
