Question

what does the root cand mean in the word candescent? the candescent quality of the room was improved by the southern exposure. glowing condition pleasant beautiful

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of the root "cand" in "candescent", we analyze the context. The sentence says the "candescent quality" of the room was improved by southern exposure (which brings light). "Glowing" relates to light/brightness, matching the root's meaning (Latin "candere" means to shine/glow). "Condition", "pleasant", and "beautiful" don't relate to light, so "glowing" is correct.

Answer:

A. glowing
