read the sentence from the passage.

artists’ increased use of technology has given way to this innovative
medium. (paragraph 1)

the word innovative comes from the latin words in, meaning “into,” and
novus, meaning “new,” as well as the suffix -ive, which means “doing or
pertaining to.” based on these roots, what is the meaning of innovative as
used in this sentence?
original and ground - breaking
predictable and familiar
technologically advanced
shockingly controversial

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "innovative", we analyze its word roots: "in" (into) + "novus" (new) + "-ive" (doing/pertaining to). This suggests something related to newness. "Original and ground - breaking" fits as it implies new and innovative ideas. "Predictable and familiar" is the opposite of new. "Technologically advanced" focuses on tech, not just newness. "Shockingly controversial" is about controversy, not newness.

Answer:

A. original and ground - breaking
