The root scrib or script is linked to which action?

• A. Carry
• B. Feel
• C. Suffer
• D. Write

Answer: (D)

The root scrib or script comes from the Latin scribere, meaning to write. So any word built from this root points to the act of writing or recording. That’s why the action linked to this root is writing. You can see it in words like script, scribble, describe, and transcribe—each revolves around writing something down. The other actions—carrying, feeling, or suffering—come from different Latin roots (for example, carry from fer/port; feel from sens; suffer from patior), so they don’t reflect this root.
