Answer:

D )As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.

Explanation:

Ellipsis are a punctuation mark used to shorten a quotation. Of course, when using them, one must pay attention on shortening it properly.

The meaning of the quotation and its message must remain unchanged, which means that only digressions and interposed phrases or sentences can be removed from the original quotation.

Of all given options, only option D) preserved the original meaning of this Twain's quotation.

What is a root word?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

A root word means the main word from which other words can be formed.

<u>For eg:</u>

☆<u>From the word "exaggerate" you can create</u>

▪︎overexaggerate

(remember over is prefix here)

▪︎overexaggeration

(over is prefix and ion is suffix)

So the root word here is exaggerate.

☆From the word "agree" you can create

▪︎disagree

(remember <u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> here)

▪︎disagreement

(<u>dis</u> is <u>prefix</u> and ment is <u>suffix</u>)

So the root word here is agree.

That means the root word is the word without any prefix and suffix.

Hope you got the concept!
