The root word in admit is "mit" which means to send, I believe if I am correct you put the star next to it to show your answer, so I guess you're correct

Answer:

B: to send

Step-by-step explanation:

The root in the word admit is from the Latin: mittere , which means 'let go, send'. There are other words that come from this same root that reinforce this meaning (to release, let go;send, throw); one of them is mission: sending abroad an agent/embassy/body of persons etc. Other words are: missionary, commissioned, dismissal.
