Question

complete the sentence with a word that has the same root as the word in bold. for example, a person who collects stamps is a stamp collector. if something moves in a circle, its path is .

Explanation:

The bold word is "circle" (from "moves in a circle"). We need a word with the same root. The root here relates to circular motion or path. "Circular" has the same root as "circle" and describes a path that's circular (like a circle). Wait, no, the structure: in the example, "collect" → "collector". So "circle" → a noun for the path. Wait, "circle" root, the path of something moving in a circle is a "circular path"? No, wait, the example: "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun, person who does the action). Wait, the sentence: "If something moves in a circle, its path is [blank]." The root is "circle". So we need a word with root "circle" that describes the path. Wait, maybe "circular" is an adjective, but maybe "circle" as a noun, but the path of a circle - moving object is a "circle" - related word. Wait, no, the example: "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun, agent). So here, the action is "moves in a circle", the path is a "circle" - related noun. Wait, maybe "circular" is not right. Wait, the root is "circle", so the word should have the same root. Let's think: "circle" comes from Latin "circulus", so a path that's a circle - like is "circular"? No, wait, the example: "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun, person). So in our case, the path of something moving in a circle: the path is a "circle" - related noun. Wait, maybe "circular" is an adjective, but the blank is a noun? Wait, no, the sentence structure: "its path is [word]". So the word should be a noun or adjective. Wait, the example: "a person who collects stamps is a stamp collector" → "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun, agent). So here, the action is "moves in a circle", the path is a "circle" - related noun. Wait, maybe "circle" itself? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe "circular" is the path? No, "path is circular" (adjective). Wait, maybe the intended word is "circular", but let's check the root. "Circle" and "circular" share the same root (cir -). So the word with the same root as "circle" (root "cir -" meaning round) is "circular". Wait, but the example is a noun (collector) from a verb (collect). Wait, maybe the problem is about word roots, so the word should have the same root as "circle". So "circle" (noun) → the path is "circular" (adjective) or "circle" (noun). But the example: "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun). So maybe the blank is a noun. Wait, maybe "circle" is the path? No, "its path is circle" doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe "circular" is the answer. Wait, let's re - read the example: "a person who collects stamps is a stamp collector" → "collect" (verb) → "collector" (noun, agent). So in our sentence, "something moves in a circle" → the path is a "circle" - related noun. Wait, maybe "circle" is the path? No, that's redundant. Wait, maybe the intended answer is "circular", as the path is circular. So the word with the same root as "circle" (root "cir -") is "circular".

Answer:

circular
