Answer:

Destroying is the present continuous tense for destroy.

construct and destruct are antonyms

Constricting is the present continuous tense for construct

Explanation:

A prefix is a forefix, a foresyllable essentially consisting of one or more letters or syllables placed at the beginning of a word to modify its meaning.

The prefix "con-" is often placed in front of certain words to obtain something new, few times informal, other times subcultural words and meanings.

Example of the meaning it can give to words includes something constructed or artificial, something hypothetical or rather fictional, other times it related to the concept of conlangs, conworlds the list goes on.

Answer

The word is "constructing".

Explanation:

A prefix can be defined as a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word with the intention of forming a different word. <u>The prefix de- is added to a word to convey removal, separation, negation, reversal, etc. On the other hand, the prefix con- conveys association and togetherness.</u> As was stated in the question, they are nearly opposite meanings. Therefore, if we think of the word <u>"destroying" and its meaning - demolishing, knocking down, putting an end to the existence of something -, the word that uses the prefix con- and that means the opposite is "constructing". To construct means to put up, to build, to set up, or to establish something.</u>

What is the central idea of the evolution of the new woman
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
"The Evolution of a New Woman" centers around the idea of gaining suffrage for women. The author discusses how women are being highly sexualized and demeaned, and it is taking away from their well-being, and from their ability to even succeed in areas where women were desired to succeed at the time (i.e. if a woman is being oppressed and suppressed, she will likely not be as good as a wife or mother). The text also uses reminders from Irish, British, and American history of groups of people who were pushed to their limits, leading to war and rebellion. These acts as warnings to those who did not wish to grant women the right to vote.

When Carl first read the sentence he thought the word disseminate meant listen to you looked up the word in the dictionary to se
Serjik [45]

Answer:

You looked in the dictionary and saw that Carl did not understand the word correctly.

Explanation:

The word "disseminate" does not mean "to listen" as Carl understood it, but it does mean the act of spreading something over an object or region. This word is associated with the act of semar, that is, spreading seeds on a land. In this regard, this word takes on the meaning of expelling something in an external environment that can be large or small. This word can also be a synonym for the word "disclose".
