2. In order to determine which sentence contains the Latin root -lum-, we can break down the words in each sentence and look for a similar word part.

A. "slumber" does not contain the Latin root -lum-.

B. "luminous" does contain the Latin root -lum-.

C. "plumber" does not contain the Latin root -lum-.

D. "clumsy" does not contain the Latin root -lum-.

Therefore, the sentence with the word "luminous" (sentence B) contains the Latin root -lum-.

3. To identify the past perfect verb tense, we need to look for the structure "had + past participle".

A. "will have owned" is the future perfect tense, not past perfect.

B. "had owned" matches the structure "had + past participle" and is therefore the past perfect tense.

C. "have not owned" is the present perfect tense, not past perfect.

D. "owned" is the simple past tense, not past perfect.

Therefore, sentence B uses the past perfect verb tense.
