Turn the following ten words, which are in italics in the passage,
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

prevalence → verb → to prevail

potentially → noun → potential

vulnerable → noun → vulnerability

accessible → verb → to access

censorship → adverb → censorious

volunteer → adjective → voluntary

dubious → noun → dubiousness

system → adjective → systematic

regular → verb → to regulate

suitability → verb​ → to suit

Explanation:

In the English language, especially when it comes to words originated from Latin, it is common to change words with the addition or removal of certain parts -- the affixes. Notice, for example, that to transform "vulnerable" into a noun, we added a suffix (an ending): "vulnerability". On the other hand, to transform "censorship" into an adverb, we changed suffixes: "censorious". It is important to know and understand the use of affixes. They are a helpful means to figure out the meanings of new words.

snow_tiger [21]
Young people should have the ability to initiate positive change in their communities because young people are the future of this planet, and they should be given more opportunities to learn, grow, and help this world. Young people need to be taught the valuable lessons of hard work by helping their community sustain itself through mowing lawns, cleaning the parks of litter, or power washing driveways. Doing some sort of activity, whether strenuous or subtle, to benefit the community, helps you grow as a person and provides you to build the mindset for future success in life.
