First, carefully step into the center of the canoe, keeping your center of gravity low. If you’re in the bow position, at the fr

ont of the canoe, you’ll be setting the pace for the other paddlers. The person in the stern, at the back of the boat, is the one who steers. To begin paddling, put your right palm over the top of the paddle handle. Use your left hand to grasp the bottom of the paddle’s neck (which is also the top of the blade). Holding on tightly with the top hand, slide the paddle straight down into the water at the left side of the canoe, perpendicular to the boat. Use the blade to pull the water straight back for your first stroke. Then lift the paddle, and as you do, turn it so it’s parallel to the water. This creates less wind resistance. Move the paddle back to the starting position, slip it into the water, and take another stroke.
What would be the best introductory sentence to add to this paragraph?
A. Learning to paddle a canoe is not difficult if you follow these easy steps.
B. If you are sitting at the stern, you will need to learn how to use your paddle to steer.
C. Rowboats are harder to operate than canoes because you have to handle two oars.
D. Paddle slowly and steadily because otherwise you will get tired very quickly.

The basic part of a word that is also the source of its essential meaning is called a _____
amm1812
<span>root - the basic part of a word
example: reCONSTRUCTion

prefix - an addition before the root of a word
example: REconstruction

suffix - an addition at the end of the root of a word
example: reconstructION

The root is what contributes to the basic meaning of a word - prefixes and suffixes serve to narrow down the meaning - who, when, how, in what tense
example: re - again
construct - to build
ion - the action of

So the word RECONSTRUCTION would mean "the action of building again."

Hope that helped! Good luck! :)

P.S. Although you didn't ask for it, the subject is the object in the sentence that is performing the predicate
example: The girl ran to the store.
girl - subject
ran - predicate

It doesn't really have much in common with roots, prefixes and suffixes, all which are similar in function </span> Source(s): Teaching English
