What does the root fort for the word fortify mean?

English

The word fortify means to strengthen or protect.

Break and suffer are complete antonyms of these definitions, so those are incorrect. 

Move isn't correct either since when you think of the actual word "fort," you usually think of a secure building to keep people safe, so that's false.

But "strong" is correct. I believe the Latin root of "fort" means "Strong" so this would be the right answer! :)

The correct answer is A. Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but they are necessary to determine a winner.

Explanation:

Sentence 4 "Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part" is biased because it includes a subjective opinion "is always the most exciting part", which makes the text lacks neutrality, and therefore influence a specific perspective (bias). According to this, it is necessary to replace the section that includes a personal opinion and replaced it with a fact or neutral statement. Thus, the best option is A because by using "but they are necessary to determine a winner" the writer can preserve the neutrality in the text and avoid bias.
