Question 5 • English Language Arts 10

How are prefixes and suffixes alike? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
Both are the root of a word.
B
Both can be added to the end of a word.
C
Both are a type of affix.
D
Both can be added to the beginning of a word.
E
Both can change a word’s meaning.

Explanation

Prefixes and suffixes are both affixes, which are word parts added to a base or root word. Both can also change a word’s meaning: for example, un- changes happy to unhappy, and -ful changes hope to hopeful. A prefix goes at the beginning, while a suffix goes at the end, so neither placement applies to both.
