Enthusiasm comes from two Latin words meaning 'be positive'.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Not enough information

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is where the word enthusiasm comes from and what its root meaning is. Enthusiasm comes from Greek, not Latin, and it originally meant divine inspiration or being possessed by a god—often explained as "in God" or inspired by the gods. From that Greek origin, the sense shifted to describe a strong excitement or passionate interest. Saying it comes from two Latin words meaning "be positive" is incorrect because the etymology is Greek, and it does not break down into Latin parts with that meaning. So the statement is false.
