The morpheme gloss meaning

• A. Glucose
• B. Knowledge
• C. Tongue
• D. Written, recording

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is tracing a morpheme to its original meaning. The morpheme gloss- comes from the Greek glossa, which means tongue (and by extension language). That root shows up in words related to language or speech, such as glossary, gloss, or glossolalia, all carrying that sense of tongue or language. So the gloss meaning of this morpheme is tongue.

The other options come from different roots: glucose from a sugar-related root, knowledge from a root meaning knowing or gnosis, and written/recording from a root meaning writing. None of those align with the gloss- root, which is why tongue is the correct meaning.
