  1. Which of the following is a compound word?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    a. urinary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    b. skeletal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    c. gastrointestinal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    d. coronary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    e. artery<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Psychology<\/strong> is the word formed by combining the root “psych” (meaning \u201cmind\u201d) with the suffix “-logy” (meaning “study of”). Therefore, psychology means the study of the mind, encompassing fields that explore mental processes, behavior, emotions, cognition, and other related aspects of human and animal function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. The correct answer<\/strong> for the compound word is c. gastrointestinal<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Explanation: A compound word is formed by combining two or more smaller words to create a new word with a specific meaning. Let\u2019s break down each option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • a. urinary<\/strong> \u2013 This word comes from “urine” and the suffix “-ary,” which means “pertaining to.” It is not a compound word because it doesn’t consist of two standalone words; instead, it modifies “urine” to indicate something related to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • b. skeletal<\/strong> \u2013 Similar to “urinary,” this word comes from the root “skeleton” and the suffix “-al,” which means “pertaining to.” It’s not a compound word since it modifies “skeleton” but doesn’t combine two distinct words.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • c. gastrointestinal<\/strong> \u2013 This is a compound word because it is made up of two separate terms: “gastro-” (referring to the stomach) and “intestinal” (referring to the intestines). Together, they form a word that means related to the stomach and intestines, commonly used in medical contexts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • d. coronary<\/strong> \u2013 This word comes from the root “coron-” (meaning \u201ccrown\u201d or \u201ccircle\u201d) and the suffix “-ary,” meaning “pertaining to.” It\u2019s not a compound word since it doesn’t combine two distinct standalone words.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • e. artery<\/strong> \u2013 This word comes from the Greek “arteria,” meaning “windpipe,” and does not consist of two independent words. Therefore, it\u2019s not a compound word.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Thus, gastrointestinal<\/strong> is the compound word, as it combines “gastro-” and “intestinal” to describe something related to both the stomach and intestines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
