Answer 2

What you just said was a complete non sequitur. How does it relate to what you said before?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the instructions say to look at the root words, lets break apart the word non sequitur. The prefix non- means not and is found in hundreds of words. The root seq- comes from Latin and means follow. Therefore, it makes sense that the word sequitur would mean to follow a sequence. In contrast, non sequitur means that it does not follow a sequence. It is the best word to complete the sentence because the first thing they said does not relate to what was said after. It does not follow a sequence.
