How does John Steinbeck open his short story "The Chrysanthemums"?

English

dybincka [34]3 years ago
5 0

It is winter in Salinas Valley, California. The sun is not shining, and fog covers the valley. On Henry Allen’s foothill ranch, the hay cutting and storing has been finished, and the orchards are waiting for rain. Elisa Allen, Henry’s wife, is working in her flower garden and sees her husband speaking with two cigarette-smoking strangers. Elisa is thirty-five years old, attractive and clear-eyed, although at the moment she is clad in a masculine gardening outfit with men’s shoes and a man’s hat. Her apron covers her dress, and gloves cover her hands. As she works away at her chrysanthemums, she steals occasional glances at the strange men. Her house, which stands nearby, is very clean.

When examining the word parts, what conclusion can you draw about the word “unknown”? If you take away the prefix “un-“, the roo
Alinara [238K]

The correct answer is the last option: If you take away the suffix –n and the prefix un-, the root word is “know”.

Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added at the beginning (prefix) or end of a word (suffix). They are not words by themselves, but they do change the words' meanings or categories.

In this case, the root is know. The suffix -n is used to change the word's category from verb (know) to noun (known). While, the prefix un- is used to mean NOT. As a result the meaning of the word UNKOWN would be not known or familiar.
