Answer:  D. constrict

The root word "stric-" means "to tie," as it comes from the Latin "stringere." This is the same root of the word "strict." The word "constrict" means "to compress," or to force something to be narrower or tighter. Identifying the root of words can help us figure out the meaning of words when we encounter them for the first time.

balandron [24]

Answer:

3. Lion.

4. Effect.

5. Ensure.

6. Foreword.

Explanation:

The question requires that the most appropriate word is chosen or selected among the list of words provided in each sentence.

1. The people thought a <u>lion</u> was nearby. Lion is a wild animal popularly referred to as the king of the jungle while loin refers to the lower part of the abdomen, reproductive organ or groin. Therefore, lion is the most appropriate choice.

3. Can you <u>ensure</u> that he attends the ceremony. Ensure is to guarantee or endeavor that an action is performed while insure is a form of compensation provided in the event of a loss based on an agreement. In this case, ensure is the most appropriate.

4. A <u>foreword</u> is a short introductory statement in a book, which is written by

someone other than the author. Forward simply means to advance in a frontal direction.
