Question

the root voc means call or speak. what does the word evocative mean?
tending to ignore strong emotions or memories
tending to call to mind strong emotions or memories
tending to observe strong emotions or memories

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "evocative", we analyze the root "voc" (meaning call or speak) and the prefix "e-" (meaning out or forth). "Evocative" relates to calling forth or bringing to mind. The first option is incorrect as it says "ignore", the third as it says "observe". The second option matches the root's meaning (call to mind strong emotions/memories).

Answer:

B. tending to call to mind strong emotions or memories
