Question

chron = \time\
chrom = \color\
meta = \change, beyond\
meter = \measure\
mono = \one\

based on the list of word roots, what is the meaning of the word monochromatic?

• capable of changing color
• occurring at a single time
• consisting of only one color
• able to measure time

Explanation:

Analyze the word parts of "monochromatic"

• "mono" means "one"
• "chrom" means "color"
• "-atic" is an adjective-forming suffix meaning "relating to" or "consisting of"

Combine the meanings of the roots

• "mono" (one) + "chrom" (color) = consisting of only one color

Match with the given options

• "capable of changing color" (incorrect, relates to "meta" + "chrom")
• "occurring at a single time" (incorrect, relates to "mono" + "chron")
• "consisting of only one color" (correct, matches "mono" + "chrom")
• "able to measure time" (incorrect, relates to "meter" + "chron")

Answer:

• capable of changing color
• occurring at a single time
• consisting of only one color (Correct answer)
• able to measure time
