historians interpret what happened in the past by examining documents that were written long ago. first, they gather information from a variety of sources, including books, artifacts, and archives. next, they try to make sense of historical events based on the details they find in their research. finally, they summarize their findings to show a historical chronicle of events for future generations.
using what you know about the greek root \chron\ and the suffix \-icle,\ what is the meaning of the word \chronicle\ as it is used in this paragraph?
○ a small version of a time
○ a small body of water
○ a small group of people
○ a small sense or feeling

Explanation:

The Greek root "chron" relates to time. The suffix "-icle" means small. In the context of historians summarizing findings for future generations, it makes sense that "chronicle" would be related to time. The other options (body of water, group of people, sense/feeling) have no connection to the root "chron".

Answer:

a small version of a time
