The correct answer is C. Some prefixes are added to the end of a root word.

Explanation:

A prefix is a syllable or syllables that are added before a word or at the beginning of it and that modify or add meaning to the word they are added. Because of this, in most cases by knowing the meaning of a prefix and knowing the meaning of the main word it is possible to determine the meaning of the complete word even if it is an unfamiliar word. Examples of prefixes include the prefix "ex-" that means former as in "ex-president" or "ex-boyfriend", the prefix "pre-" that means before as in "preview" or even "prefix" and the prefix "dis-" that means opposite to as in "disagree" or "disapprove". Considering this, the statement that is not true about prefixes is that "some prefixes are added to the end of a root word" because all prefixes go before and not after a root word.

Answer:

C) Some prefixes are added to the end of a root word.

Explanation:

Prefixes are letters that are added to the beginning of a root word in order to create a word that has a different meaning. Therefore, by adding a prefix, we change one word into another one. Knowing the meaning of a prefix can help us figure out the meaning of the new word. For example, if we know that "<em>un-" </em>means "the opposite," then we can better understand what "unhappy" (not happy), "unable" (not able) and unpack (the opposite of packing) mean. However, prefixes are always added at the beginning of the word. When letter are added to the end of the word, these are called suffixes.

Read the passage from chapter 5 of Animal Farm.
trapecia [35]

In<em> Animal Farm </em>(1945) by George Orwell<em>,</em> Napoleon represents Stalin, who built a dictatorship under the guise of communism.

<em>Animal Farm </em>was written by Orwell as <u>a satire on soviet totalitarianism</u>. The animals' rebellion is an allegory of the Russian Revolution in 1917. In that way, the writer portrays the ideals of the revolution as well as the development of political corruption.

Orwell satirizes Joseph Stalin, one of the fathers of the Russian Revolution, by representing him in the figure of a pig, Napoleon. In the novel, he also explores the relationship between Stalin and Trotsky, who is represented by Snowball. In that way,<u> the author equates pigs with human tyrants</u>. This becomes clearer at the end of the novel when it becomes impossible to distinguish men from pigs.

What does chauncer think can cause a religious person to fail in his duty?
Annette [7]

Chaucer looked at the faults of the Friar and noted that certain things might cause a religious person to stray. Four of these things were materialism, gluttony, bribery, and mistruths. The Friar is of course guilty of all of these things in one degree or another. He's fat (gluttony), he loves horses and fine dogs for hunting (materialism), and he enjoys being a man of the world far more than he enjoys leading his flock.....


Chaucer's Parson however....... he is the exact opposite. The Parson leads by example and believes that the most important thing he can do is follow the path Jesus set. He believed that he was responsible for the moral well-being of the common people, and that without him..... some might not make it to the gates of Heaven.
