Some words are not as old as you might think. The word humongous, which means very large, was first recorded in the 1960s, and was probably made from combining what other two English words?
a. huge, gust
b. human, gust
c. huge, monstrous
d. human, monstrous

The answer is C because A and B do not make sense because gust has nothing to do with huge so it just does not make sense and D is not right because human does not make sense in the word. Usually when a new word is made both parts actually make sense :)
