Question 17 • 25-26 TX-Literary Genres

How would a student justify inferring that "indigenous” means "originating in a particular region”?

Answer

The word root “gen” means “earth,” and the suffix “-ous” means “someone who does something.”

The word root “gen” means “birth,” and the suffix “-ous” means “having the quality of something.”

The word root “gen” means “body,” and the suffix “-ous” means “the state or condition of something.”

The word root “gen” means “rule,” and the suffix “-ous” means “being filled up with something.”

Explanation

The root “gen” relates to birth or being born, and the suffix “-ous” means having a particular quality. Together, these parts support the idea that “indigenous” describes something born or originating in a place. So the best choice is “The word root ‘gen’ means ‘birth,’ and the suffix ‘-ous’ means ‘having the quality of something.’”
