Mrac [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Affixes: "in" and "ible"

Definition: "in" means "in," "into" or "not", and "ible" means "capable of being."

Explanation:

Words are composed of one or more morphemes, which are the smallest units of the meaning of a word that can not stand on its own.

The morphemes may be divided into root words (which hold the most basic meaning of a word) and affixes that are divided into two types: prefixes (placed before a root word) and inflections or suffixes (placed at the end of a root word).

The word "inflexible", for example, has the following composition:

  • The prefix "in" that means "not," "in" or "into". In the word "inflexible," "in" means "not."
  • The root word "flex" that means "to bend"
  • The affix "ible" meaning "capable of being."

Therefore, "inflexible" refers to something or someone that is not capable to bend.

The root of the word inflexible is flex, which means that affixes are everything that is added to this root.
Having this in mind, there are two affixes here: a prefix in- and a suffix -ible.              ENGLISH WOOP WOOP Hope this helped

What happens when Chris/Alex drives the Datsun into the Lake Mead National Recreation<br> Area?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

McCandless had driven his car to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in July, and against posted regulations, had driven it off road in the park and had pitched a campsite. A few days later, flash flooding almost washed away his campsite, and his car’s engine got so wet he couldn’t get it to start. Because he wasn’t supposed to have driven off-road, he couldn’t get help from the rangers, and so he left the car with a note saying whoever can get the car to work can keep it.
