Pretest

Question 6 • English III

Which word contains a suffix?

Answer
A
disbelief
B
prewrite
C
happiness
D
reverse

Explanation

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a base word. In “happiness,” the suffix “-ness” is added to “happy” (with the y changing to i) to form a noun meaning the state of being happy. “Dis-” in “disbelief” and “pre-” in “prewrite” are prefixes, which come at the beginning.
