Question

(u1t.11/l.4)

1. read this sentence from paragraph 2:

\freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.\
the word \supremacy\ appears in this sentence. it features the root word \super,\ meaning \above\ or \beyond.\
what is the most likely meaning of \supremacy\ as used here?
a. the complete destruction of something
b. the highest importance or authority
c. the act of being in conflict
d. the sharing of equal control

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "supremacy", we use the root word "super" (meaning "above" or "beyond"). Option A refers to destruction, which is unrelated. Option C is about conflict, not matching. Option D is about equal control, conflicting with "above/beyond". Option B ("highest importance or authority") aligns with "above/beyond" as it implies a top - tier position in importance or authority.

Answer:

B. The highest importance or authority
