identify the choice that best answers the question.
what is the meaning of the root -dur-?
a. to see
b. to last
c. to take
d. to carry

Explanation:

The root “-dur-” (from Latin “durare”) means “to last” (related to enduring, lasting over time). Option A is “to see” (related to roots like “-vid-” or “-vis-”), C is “to take” (e.g., “-cap-”, “-cept-”), D is “to carry” (e.g., “-port-”). So the meaning of “-dur-” matches option B.

Answer:

B. to last
