Question

The word antiquity contains the Latin root antico, which means old. Which of these also contains the Latin root antico? A. anticipate B. antidote C. antique D. antithesis

Answer 1

Antique also contains the Latin root antico.  


An antique (Latin: antiquus; "old", "ancient") is an old collectable item. It is collected or desirable because of its age, beauty, rarity, condition, utility, personal emotional connection, and/or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era or time period in human society.  

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer 2

I would say that C. antique is the best answer. Since the Latin root antico means old and antique means something that is old, it is the closest in root because if you separate antique into Latin, the -que ending signifies "and" so it is literally "and old."
