To find the meaning of the root in the underlined word, we need to identify the root. In this case, the root is "construct."

To determine the meaning of the root, we can look at the context of the sentence. The sentence states that "Construction on the new shopping center will begin in two weeks." This tells us that "construction" refers to the act of building something.

Therefore, the correct answer is "to build", as it aligns with the meaning of the root in the underlined word.
