What does sang mean?

Explanation:
Sang is a root that signals blood. It comes from Latin sanguis/sanguis, and in medical language it shows up in terms that describe blood or blood-related things (for example, sanguine meaning blood-colored or optimistic, sanguinous meaning relating to blood). So the meaning the question is testing is blood, not a color, flesh, or a tube. Red is a color often associated with blood, but it’s not the root’s meaning itself, and flesh or tube come from other roots.
