Which sentence correctly uses a root word with the meaning to write?

The inscription on the bracelet revealed true feelings.

Dictate your notes to the translator.

She made a spectacle of herself during the talent show.

The contradiction was identified early.

Answer 1

Think about what the word means.  What does "inscription" mean? It means something written on it, right? So the root word would have to mean "to write." Therefore, I think it's A.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. The inscription on the bracelet revealed true feelings. In this case, the word inscription refers to the activity of putting something in written form. The root word of inscription is the Latin root word script or scrib, which mean write. Other words that have the same root word (script/scrib) are, for example, describe and manuscript.
