Root Words: Quiz 2

The word "transfer" means to carry something from one place to another. This involves physically moving an object or item from one location to another. The other options, such as going on a long trip, counting people in a room, or dancing in a small area, do not accurately define the word transfer.

The root-word "flect, flex" is used to mean bend. This can be seen in words like "flexible" and "reflection" where the concept of bending or curving is implied. The other root-words listed, such as "corp" (meaning body) and "cred" (meaning believe), do not have the same meaning as "bend". Therefore, "flect, flex" is the correct answer.

The root-word "cycl" used in words like bicycle and encyclopedia refers to something that is round. In the case of bicycle, it refers to the round shape of the wheels, while in encyclopedia, it refers to the round shape of the knowledge or information contained within it. Therefore, "round" is the correct answer.

The root-word "corp" is derived from the Latin word "corpus" which means "body". Therefore, the correct match for "corp" is "body".
