Question
the root puls means drive or push. what does the word repulsive mean?
doubting someones intentions or motives
causing others to move or stay away
disappointing or angering others
cooperating on a group activity
The root "puls" means drive or push. The prefix "re -" can imply back or away. So "repulsive" would relate to pushing away. "Causing others to move or stay away" aligns with the root and prefix implications. The other options: "doubting someone's intentions or motives" (no relation to push/drive), "disappointing or angering others" (emotion - based, not push - related), "cooperating on a group activity" (opposite of pushing away).
