<span>Which of the following words best characterizes Mary Warren? gullible.</span>
Answer
The word is "constructing".
Explanation:
A prefix can be defined as a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word with the intention of forming a different word. <u>The prefix de- is added to a word to convey removal, separation, negation, reversal, etc. On the other hand, the prefix con- conveys association and togetherness.</u> As was stated in the question, they are nearly opposite meanings. Therefore, if we think of the word <u>"destroying" and its meaning - demolishing, knocking down, putting an end to the existence of something -, the word that uses the prefix con- and that means the opposite is "constructing". To construct means to put up, to build, to set up, or to establish something.</u>
