Answer:
The answer choice is:
c. dissatisfaction
Explanation:
Let's take a look at each option and use elimination to find the correct one.
a. satisfaction --> consists of the base word satisfy and the suffix -tion. Since there is no prefix, this is INCORRECT.
b. dissatisfy --> consists of the prefix dis- and the base word satisfy. Since there is no suffix, this is also INCORRECT.
c. dissatisfaction --> CORRECT option. It is formed by the prefix dis-, the base word satisfy, and the suffix -tion.
d. satisfactorily --> consists of the base word satisfy and two suffixes, - ory and -ly. This is not what we are looking for, so it is INCORRECT.
<u>A prefix is a letter or group of letters which are placed at the beginning of a word. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the ending of a word. Both are used to transform that word into a new one by altering its meaning.</u>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Hi there,
The last choice is not a way to use context clues because it doesn't even help a student understand the meaning of the word. Noticing whether something is a vowel or a consonant will accomplish very little when you are trying to understand the meaning of a word.
Hope this answer helps. Cheers.
