root

<span>root - the basic part of a word
example: reCONSTRUCTion

prefix - an addition before the root of a word
example: REconstruction

suffix - an addition at the end of the root of a word
example: reconstructION

The root is what contributes to the basic meaning of a word - prefixes and suffixes serve to narrow down the meaning - who, when, how, in what tense
example: re - again
construct - to build
ion - the action of

So the word RECONSTRUCTION would mean "the action of building again."

Hope that helped! Good luck! :)

P.S. Although you didn't ask for it, the subject is the object in the sentence that is performing the predicate
example: The girl ran to the store.
girl - subject
ran - predicate

It doesn't really have much in common with roots, prefixes and suffixes, all which are similar in function </span> Source(s): Teaching English

Please help me with this
Roman55 [17]

Answer: A *For question 1* sry only one I looked at...also noticed the other person had 2 answers so I narrowed this one down

Explanation:

B is not right because it only focuses on the mind game they were talking about(only mentioned once)

C is not right because it has not been proved that you <em>can't </em>travel through the center of the Earth

(I'm assuming you got D wrong but just in case) I think it's safe to say that answer choice D is only a sum up of paragraph 2. *Basically it doesn't sum up the whole passage*
