Question

read the sentences.
to ensure they dont dehydrate on long hikes, hikers often carry canteens. this practice gives them a readily available supply of water to replenish the fluids lost as they move through the hot sun and tough terrain.
using what you know about the latin prefix \de-\ and the greek root \hydr,\ what does the word \dehydrate\ mean as it is used in the sentence?
a. to lose energy
b. to get tired
c. to get water
d. to lose water

Explanation:

The Latin prefix "de -" often means "remove" or "take away". The Greek root "hydr" means "water". So, combining them, "dehydrate" should mean to remove water. Also, in the context of the sentence, hikers carry water to replenish fluids (water) lost, which supports the idea that "dehydrate" is related to losing water.

Answer:

D. to lose water
