select the word from passage 1 that comes from a latin root word meaning \to lengthen\ or \extended\.
then, he sat down and let out a prolonged sigh. once his sigh came to a complete stop, i used my new voice modulator to ask him a question. \hello! how are you doing today?\
ot well,\ aeneas replied, \it would take all day long for me to recount what i’ve been through, but you can read about it on my social media account, or i can tell you about the worst of it. first, my trip here was completely ruined! my other team members and my luggage were on a separate flight that landed on a dangerously remote island during a storm.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the Latin roots of the highlighted words:

• "prolonged": The Latin root "long" means "to lengthen" or "extended", and "pro - " is a prefix. "Prolonged" means extended in duration, matching the root's meaning.
• "modulator": Root related to "modulate" (adjust), not "lengthen".
• "recount": Root "count" (tell, relate), not "lengthen".
• "remote": Root related to "remove" (distant), not "lengthen".

So the word is "prolonged".

Answer:

prolonged
