Which sentence uses "staid" correctly?

English

Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A) Our staid coach surprised us with a joke that was totally out of character

Explanation:

Although staid's denotative meaning is "sedate, respectable, and unadventurous," the word is often used to describe people who are stodgy or dull. If one was surprised by someone telling a joke, and calls that "out of character", then we can infer that that person was usually rather boring. Therefore, using context clues, we can infer that this is the correct use of staid.

Analyze the word to determine its Greek prefix. Then use your understanding of the prefix meaning to choose the correct meaning
Sergio039 [100]
1) Prefix "a-" means "without, not". The meaning of the word "apathetic" is "without emotion or feeling";
2) In the word "analgesic", prefix "a-" denotes the process of removing or eliminating something. So, "analgesic" means "a medicine to remove pain";
3) Prefix "ex-" has the meaning "out". That is why, the word "expulsion" is defined as "to drive out";
4) Prefix "endo-" means "inside, within". Consequently, "endodermis" is the name of the inner layer of skin.
