Prefixes are added to the _____ of a word to change or modify its meaning.

Gnoma [55]

Prefixes are added to the front of a word to change or modify its meaning. For example, if we add the prefix -il to literate, we would get its antonym (the word that has the opposite meaning) illiterate.
We would add an infix in the middle of a word.
We would add a suffix to the end of a word.

Read the sentence.

Andreas93 [3]

When it is a linking verb, it contains a adjective right after the main verb (is/feel/were/was) and must express the person. Example: I feel sad. "Feel" is the main verb in this sentence and it is expressing ones emotion. So if that is the verb, then "sad" is the adjective. Because of this example, you can see that "Were" in the sentence is the main verb and after those are the adjectives ( tired and dirty). Therefore, you just found a linking verb. Then answer would be (A) EMJOY!!
