Question 11 • English Language Arts 12

Which pair of words shares the same suffix?

Answer
A
enjoyable, teachable
B
disappoint, disrepair
C
angrily, angered
D
mistake, misery

Explanation

In “enjoyable” and “teachable,” the suffix “-able” is added to each base word: enjoy + able and teach + able. A suffix is a word part added to the end of a word. The other pairs do not share a suffix: “angrily” ends in “-ly,” while “angered” ends in “-ed.”
