Question

20.

Answer 1

Answer:

b.act of disagreement

Explanation:

The suffix in "argument" will be "-ment". 'Argue' is a verb and with the addition of the sufix -ment, it becomes a noun. Likewise, to disagree is a verb but with the suffix -ment, it changes into a noun "disagreement". So, "argument" can also be defined as an act of disagreement, representing the literal act of argument.

Answer 2

The suffix here would be 'ment', which means 'an act of, a state of, or a result of'. The suffix 'ment' changes the word from a verb to a noun, therefore to argue is a verb and becomes an argument which is a noun, to disagree is a verb and becomes a disagreement which is a noun. Therefore to define argument using this logic and one of the four options given the correct answer would be C. state of disagreement.
