Question

Entreat (verb) (en, em= in among, within; intensify)

a) To beg or plead
b) To dance gracefully
c) To build something
d) To discover a hidden treasure

Answer 1

The verb 'entreat' means to beg or plead, often with urgency or desperation, and the root 'en-' can intensify its meaning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The verb entreat means to ask someone earnestly or anxiously to do something; in other words, to beg or plead. It often conveys a sense of urgency or desperation and can intensify the emotional context of the plea being made. The root 'en-' can mean 'in,' 'among,' or 'within,' and sometimes serves to intensify the meaning of the verb it precedes, as it does with 'entreat.'

Example: The environmental activists entreated the government to take immediate action on climate change, highlighting the severe consequences of inaction.
