Question

Based on the meanings of the following English words with Greek roots, what is the meaning of the word eulogy? euphony: sounding pleasant, harmonious eupeptic: causing or related to good digestion euphoric: feeling intense happiness or well-being monologue: a speech by a single speaker dialogue: conversation between two or more characters trilogy: three related works forming a set

Answer 1

Try to find patterns. Look at the two parts of the word (eu and logy) and then find patterns in the examples given.

All 3 of the examples with eu in them have something to do with good or happiness.

All 3 of the examples with log in them have to do with some kind of talk or story.

So a eulogy is likely a good speech or a pleasant speech. And that's pretty much what a eulogy is - a speech that people give at funerals praising someone's good qualities.
