Question

Choose the definition of: Prelude A. something that precedes something else B. something that goes after something else C. something that goes concurring with something else

Answer 1

Pre- means before, e.g preschool means before school. So a prelude comes before it, or precedes it

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Option A. Something that precedes something else.

A prelude is an element that provides an introduction to something else. This can be inferred analyzing the prefix pre-, which means "before". A common place to find a prelude in is at the beggining a book, where the prelude serves as a brief introduction to the rest of the book's content.
