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>

Discuss how the narrator's initial feelings about the blind man and his treatment of the blind man reveal problems in his relati
Lynna [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Even though your question does not mention the book or story which it concerns, we may assume it is about the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver, since the three characters in the story are the narrator, his wife, and her blind friend.

The narrator's initial feelings toward the blind man, Robert, are permeated with prejudice. He sees himself as superior simply because he can "see". He thinks of Robert as an incomplete man, a man who cannot be happy nor make a woman happy. He treats Robert as if his presence were an nuisance, as if a blind man were the worst company one could have. He also thinks it is an absurd for Robert to have a full beard and not wear dark sunglasses, just like a normal non-blind person.

We can quickly tell the one who truly has an impairment is the narrator himself. He certainly can see with his eyes; he is not physically blind. But he cannot go beyond that. He does not truly "see". Robert knows the narrator's wife much better than the narrator does. Robert sees more, because he listens, because he learns, because he is willing to not judge. The narrator's relationship with other people and even himself is one of appearances, shallow and judgmental.
