Question

the root word \cephal-\ refers to the head, and the suffix \-y\ refers to a condition. which is a condition in which a person has a larger than normal head?
○ neocephaly
○ exocephaly
○ macrocephaly
○ hypocephaly

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the prefixes:

• "neo - " means new, so "neocephaly" is about a new head - related condition, not size.
• "exo - " means outside, so "exocephaly" refers to a condition related to the head being outside (not size).
• "macro - " means large, so "macrocephaly" means a condition of having a larger - than - normal head.
• "hypo - " means under or small, so "hypocephaly" means a condition of having a smaller - than - normal head.

Answer:

B. macrocephaly
