2: What does cept mean in susceptible a. taken, seized b. beaten, pounded c. flew, soared d. I'm not sure

The correct answer is a. taken, seized.

In the word "susceptible," the root "cept" comes from the Latin word "capere," which means "to take" or "to seize." Therefore, "cept" in "susceptible" refers to being taken or seized, indicating a state of being vulnerable or open to attack or influence.
