read this sentence. the ballerina remained on stage after the curtain had closed because she loved hearing the er the word encomium has greek and latin roots. the greek word komos means “a revel or celebr meaning of encomiums? a. enthusiastic praise b. helpful advice c. comforting words d. loud noises

Explanation:

The word "encomium" has Greek roots. The context of a ballerina staying on stage after the curtain closed implies she is receiving something positive. "Komos" (a revel or celebration) often involves praise. "Enthusiastic praise" fits this positive connotation. "Helpful advice" (B) and "comforting words" (C) don't match the celebratory root. "Loud noises" (D) is too general and not specific to the positive nature of a revel.

Answer:

A. enthusiastic praise
