Question

the word autograph contains the root graph. what does the root graph mean?
shapes or lines
write or draw
measure

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "graph", we analyze the word "autograph". An autograph is a person's own written signature or something they write/draw themselves. The root "graph" is related to writing or drawing (as seen in words like "graphic", "paragraph", "diagram" which involve writing or drawing visual elements). The option "shapes or lines" is too narrow, and "measure" is incorrect (the root for measure is "meter" or "metry" in many cases). So the root "graph" means write or draw.

Answer:

write or draw
