Question

If the word rudiment is defined as a fundamental principle or skill, and the suffix -ary is defined as "of or relating to,” what does the term rudimentary education mean? A.the education necessary for getting a job B.a manual education C.an education gained through hard work D.a basic education

Answer 1

D. A basic education.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Oxford Languages, rudimentary means "involving or limited to basic principles." I would think that a rudimentary skill is the most basic or fundamental level of education. Options A-C all make the education seem a little more detailed or qualified than a rudimentary level. Hopefully that makes sense! :)
