The Odyssey: Theme Development, Part 6 — Unit test

Question 11 • English 9 A

The best way to locate a suffix is to look for a word part that

Answer
A
includes “pre”, “a”, or “en” for example.
B
shows the word’s central meaning.
C
is added to the end of the word root.
D
is added to the beginning of a word root.

Explanation

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a root or base word. For example, “-ful” in “helpful” comes after “help.” A word part added to the beginning, such as “pre-,” is a prefix, so the correct choice is “is added to the end of the word root.”
