Answer:

The prefix is ben-.

The prefix ben- means well or good.

The word "benign" means gentle or kind.

Explanation:

The word benign comes from the Latin words "bene" and "genus". Bene, that has become the prefix "ben-" to many other words (such as benevolent and benefactor), means well or good. Genus means born. Thus, something that is benign is something that is good, gentle.

The prefix that represents the opposite meaning of ben- is mal-. The opposite of benign is malign.

What is the theme on Birds of the feather by linda lara puente?​
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The theme of the story Birds of a feather is surviving in the unknown environment, adapting, and making new connections.

Explanation:

The story is connecting the experiences of the author, her Mami (mother), and Helen, to those of parakeet birds. <u>They both came to the unknown environment after a hard time and managed to survive and adapt, as well as make friends.</u> The birds were in the company of each other, just like the author had her Mami and later Helen. Parakeets are, therefore, the metaphor for the author’s experience, as well as Helen’s. Making friends with Helen is the key point in the story, as it shows how important it is to make connections, friends, and how similar some people might be, even though we think of them as very different to us.

The courage my mother had went with her, and is with her still: rock from New England quarried; now granite in a granite hill.
maxonik [38]
The correct option is  A DESIRE FOR SOMETHING MORE.
From the excerpt given above, it can be seen that the speaker's mother had died leaving her a golden brooch. Even though the speaker cherishes the golden brooch, she is more than ready to exchange it for the rock-like courage of her mother, which she had carried to the grave. The speaker desires something more; she desires the courage of her mother.
