Question

aud = \hear\
auto = \self\
mob = \move\

based on the list of word roots, what is the correct spelling of a word that means \a vehicle that moves by itself\?

o autamobile
o audimobile
o automobile

Explanation:

Identify the required roots based on the definition

The definition is "a vehicle that moves by itself."

• "self" corresponds to the root "auto"
• "move" corresponds to the root "mob"

Combine the roots to form the word

Combining "auto" (self) and "mobile" (moving, from "mob") yields "automobile."

Evaluate the spelling of the given options

• "autamobile" uses an incorrect connecting vowel "a" instead of "o".
• "audimobile" uses the root "audi" (hear) instead of "auto" (self).
• "automobile" correctly combines "auto" and "mobile".

Answer:

• autamobile
• audimobile
• automobile (Correct answer)
