Answer: Affix.
An affix is a grammatical unit that is attached to a word's stem to form a new word. They are important in English because they are one of the main ways in which the language creates new words.
The two most common ones are: prefixes, which are placed before the stem (ex. pre-, in-, un-) and suffixes, which are placed after the stem (ex. -ly, -ness).
D, using language to express the opposite of its literal meaning.
<span>This is foreshadowing that Fortunado will not leave the vaults (C). He has become nervous about Montressor's actions and has suggested that they leave, hoping that this is all a joke. But Montressor uses verbal irony to indicate that only he will be leaving, and Fortunado will remain entombed for the insults he supposedly dealt Montressor previous to the beginning of the narrative.
The second question, though it doesn't have all the multiple choice options available, suggests that Montressor is trying to flatter Fortunado to pique his interests in going down to the catacombs, even during this festival. He is playing to Fortunado's ego as a wine connoisseur.</span>
Geology is an earth science that studies particularly everything pertaining to the composition of the Earth, its ground, soil, water, rocks, anything that is pertaining to the characteristics of the Earth, and sometimes other planets. There are many tasks that geologists perform, but in a nutshell, they work mostly with governments, educational institutions such as universities, and most particularly the construction, oil, gas and mineral industries, studying the composition of the ground and other components of the earth, to establish the possiblity of mineral, oil and gas presence, the usefulness of a terrain for safe construction and also to build models that foretell possible natural disasters like earthquakes, and others. These are just a few of the many jobs performed by geologists, but two specific ones are: A: prepares scaled drawings of construction sites for clients, as they are the ones who, with mathematical models and earth-structure study, can tell if something can be built or not in a terrain, and C: Investigates the formation process of rocks, as this is basically the backbone of geology, the study of the composites of the earth.
