A suffix is one or more syllables added to the <u>END</u> of a root word. (c)

In the word suffix, (su) means after.
In the word prefix, (pre) means before.

The correct answer is C. One or more syllables added to the end of a root word.

Explanation:

The word suffix refers to a morpheme or basic unit of a word composed by one or more syllables that are added to a root word (base of the word) to create a new one or to give to a word a new meaning as the form of the root word or basic word is altered. Suffixes differ from prefixes as suffixes are always added at the end of words and not at the beginning of them. For example in the word "teacher" the root or base is the verb "teach" and the "-er" is the suffix that indicates someone is performing an action this means the word "teach" has been altered and the word "teacher" means someone who teaches. Thus, it can be concluded the correct definition of the word suffix is the one or more syllables added to the end of a root word, as suffixes are morphemes that can only be added at the end of the word but never at the middle or beginning of it.

BaLLatris [955]
I'd say C, pose poems are known for the way in which they avoid conventional poetic techniques, because the rest are true. Annabel Lee is about his dead wife (aka his cousin), The Cask of Amontillado does take place during a Mardi Gras scenery, and The Raven uses repetition for dramatic effects.

Does the narrator of "Valediction" do the right thing?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The speaker explains that he is forced to spend time apart from his lover, but before he leaves, he tells her that their farewell should not be the occasion for mourning and sorrow. In the same way that virtuous men die mildly and without complaint, he says, so they should leave without “tear-floods” and “sigh-tempests,” for to publicly announce their feelings in such a way would profane their love. The speaker says that when the earth moves, it brings “harms and fears,” but when the spheres experience “trepidation,” though the impact is greater, it is also innocent. The love of “dull sublunary lovers” cannot survive separation, but it removes that which constitutes the love itself; but the love he shares with his beloved is so refined and “Inter-assured of the mind” that they need not worry about missing “eyes, lips, and hands.”

Though he must go, their souls are still one, and, therefore, they are not enduring a breach, they are experiencing an “expansion”; in the same way that gold can be stretched by beating it “to aery thinness,” the soul they share will simply stretch to take in all the space between them. If their souls are separate, he says, they are like the feet of a compass: His lover’s soul is the fixed foot in the center, and his is the foot that moves around it. The firmness of the center foot makes the circle that the outer foot draws perfect: “Thy firmness makes my circle just, / And makes me end, where I begun.”
