-ical =
elating to\

based on the list of word parts, what is the best definition of the word autobiographical?

elated to writing about ones own life\
\writing about ones relatives\

elated to writing about another persons life\

Explanation:

Analyze the given word parts and their meanings

• auto = "self"
• bio = "life"
• graph = "write"
• -ical = "relating to"

Combine the meanings of the word parts

• auto (self) + bio (life) + graph (write) + -ical (relating to)
• "relating to" + "writing" + "about self" + "life"
• This directly translates to "related to writing about one's own life."

Evaluate the given multiple-choice options

• Option 1: "related to writing about one's own life" (Matches the combined meaning)
• Option 2: "writing about one's relatives" (Incorrect)
• Option 3: "related to writing about another person's life" (Incorrect, as "auto" means "self", not "another person")

Answer:

• (A) "related to writing about one's own life" (Correct answer)
• (B) "writing about one's relatives"
• (C) "related to writing about another person's life"
