To find which word shares a word part with 'forsake', we need to identify its components. 'Forsake' consists of two parts: the prefix 'for-' and the root word 'sake'. The prefix 'for-' means away, off, or to the side, and it is used in other English words as well.
Let's examine each of the answer choices:

Forget - This word begins with the prefix 'for-' just like 'forsake'. Here, 'for-' means off or away, in the sense of not remembering or letting go of something from the mind.

Cake - This word does not share any prefixes or root parts with 'forsake'.

Foster - While this word begins with 'fo', it does not share the 'for-' prefix as a meaningful component like 'forsake' and 'forget'.


Therefore, the correct answer is forget because it shares the same prefix 'for-' with 'forsake', carrying a similar sense of moving away or letting go in its meaning.
