The root dict means which concept?

Explanation:
Root dict conveys the idea of saying or speaking. The Latin root dict/dic means to say or declare, so words built with this root are tied to speech or giving words. That’s why the concept being tested is speaking. For contrast, other roots relate to other actions (reading or writing), so they don’t fit as well.
