Question

The English words archaeology and archetype are derivatives of the Greek word arkhaios. Based on this information, what is the most likely meaning of the word arkhaios?Select one of the options below as your answer:
a. dead
b. ruins
c. ancient
d. extinct

Answer 1

The most likely meaning of this world would be c - ancient. This is probably true because when you think about it, when you're talking about an archetype, you're not talking about something dead nor extinct, neither about ruins, but you might be talking about something ancient - and the same goes for archaeology.
