Question 1 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Where is a suffix used?

Answer
A
at the beginning of a word
B
after the root word
C
when defining a medical term
D
as a shortened form of a complex term

Explanation

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a root or base word. For example, adding “-ful” to “hope” makes “hopeful.” So a suffix is used after the root word; a word part at the beginning is a prefix.
