Question

question 6 (1 point) which of the following words is an example of a word root used to link a suffix that begins with a vowel? scler/osis cardi/o/centesis therm/o/meter cardi/o/megaly enter/o/lysis

Explanation:

In medical terminology, when a suffix begins with a vowel, a word root can be directly linked without an additional combining vowel (like 'o'). In "scler/osis", "scler -" is the word root and "-osis" is the suffix starting with a vowel. In other options like cardi/o/centesis, therm/o/meter, cardi/o/megaly, enter/o/lysis, the 'o' is a combining vowel used when the suffix doesn't start with a vowel.

Answer:

scler/osis
