Question

select the correct answer.
what does the prefix paleo- mean?
a. false
b. system
c. ancient
d. mind

Explanation:

The prefix "paleo - " is derived from Greek and its meaning is related to "ancient" or "old". For example, in words like "paleontology" (the study of ancient life) or "paleolithic" (the old stone age), the prefix "paleo - " conveys the idea of something being ancient. Option A "false" is incorrect as "paleo - " has no relation to false. Option B "system" is also incorrect as there is no connection between "paleo - " and system. Option D "mind" is incorrect as "paleo - " does not mean mind. So the correct answer is the option that means ancient.

Answer:

C. ancient
