What does the root in retentive mean? to place
to send
* to hold
to write

Answers

Answer:

to hold

Explanation:

The adjective retentive means having the ability to memorize or remember facts and impressions easily.

The root of a word is the word in its basic form, without any prefixes or suffixes. The prefix re- in retentive means  back, while the word roots -tin-, -ten- and -tain mean to hold.
Again, I am seeing the asterisk next to the right answers, -tentive means to hold or hesitate something.

Answer:

The sentence that contains a singular subject is sentence B.

Explanation:

Sentence B is the sentence that contains a singular subject because the noun head is singular. In order to determine whether a sentence has a singular or plural subject, you should look at the noun head. In this case, the head of the noun phrase subject of the sentence is "fruit". "All" is a quantifier which selects a PP complement which takes the NP subject as complement. Then, sentences A, C, and D have all plural subjects (students, friends, many).
The answer is B. All of the fruit looks ripe.
