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

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Caused by disputes over trade, the war began with English attacks on Dutch merchant shipping, but expanded to vast fleet actions.

The internal conflict that both Felix and Antonio face is

Marianna [84]

Answer:

How to achieve their own goals without hurting their friend.

Explanation:

Piri Thomas's short story "Amigo Brothers," tells the story of two young teenage friends who had to fight against each other in a boxing match. The story deals with themes of loyalty, friendship over success and fame, and most importantly true friendship.

When Felix and Antonio discovered that they were to fight against each other in the division finals of the Champions, they were both worried about what might happen. They both wanted to win and know it was their desire to win, but pitted against each other, it was sure that one will lose. The major internal conflict for both boxers was how to win without hurting the other person or without ruining their friendship. In the end, they chose friendship over success.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth or last option.

She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Signifying nothing.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "the queen, my lord, is dead." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "she should have died hereafter", and that "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing." This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
