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.<br /><br />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.
