Answer:

Seize

Explanation:

The root <em>cap</em> is a variant of the primary root word <em>cept</em> that means to take or to receive. <em>Cap</em> only means to take or to seize, and such concept is present in words such as the following:

  • To captivate: To seize someone with charm or to attract and hold the interest and attention of someone.
  • Captive: One who has been seized and enslaved.
  • Captor: One who seizes and enslaves.
  • To capture: To seize or to get possession of something or someone, usually a criminal.
  • Capacity: The ability of something, like a box, to take a number of things or persons into it.

Seize means to take and -cap- means to take so it would be Seize.

Identify the error in the following sentence and the best way to fix it. Flew through the meadow. A. It is a fragment and needs
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

D. It is a fragment and needs a subject.

Explanation:

"Flew through the meadow" describes something that an object does. It doesn't specify a subject and it doesn't make much sense without one. A good example of a subject for this sentence fragment would be "The bird" or "The butterfly", which would make the sentence "The bird/butterfly flew through the meadow." That would be a complete, logical sentence, since an object to perform the given action is present.
