The root 'men' means which of the following?

• A. Monthly
• B. Minute
• C. Mental
• D. Meadow

Answer: (A)

The root men- signals month. In medical and scientific terms, men- comes from the Latin mensis, meaning month, so it points to something occurring on a monthly basis. That’s why monthly is the best fit here—it directly conveys happening once per month. The other options come from different roots: minute derives from a root meaning small, mental from mind-related roots, and meadow from a landscape term, none of which connect to the idea of a month.
