Question

the root bel means war. what does the word rebellion mean? the act of working together to achieve a common goal the act of rising up in armed opposition to the government the act of enforcing the law and punishing criminals the act of surrendering to another group

Explanation:

The root "bel" means war. "Rebellion" has the prefix "re - " which can imply against. So combining the root meaning (war) and the prefix implication (against), it relates to an act of opposition (like war - like opposition). Looking at the options:

• "the act of working together to achieve a common goal" has no relation to war/opposition.
• "the act of rising up in armed opposition to the government" fits as armed opposition can be seen as a form of war - like action against (the government).
• "the act of enforcing the law and punishing criminals" is about law - enforcement, not war/opposition.
• "the act of surrendering to another group" is the opposite of war/opposition.

Answer:

the act of rising up in armed opposition to the government
