Answer: C. preposition: during; object of the preposition: thunderstorm

Prepositions are words that introduce facts or information to the reader. It can state where something takes place, when or why something takes place, or general descriptive information.

Object of the preposition is needed because a preposition don't stand on its own. Preposition and object of the preposition are grouped together as a prepositional phrase. This phrase begins with the preposition and ends with a noun which is the object of preposition.

In the above sentence, the prepositional phrase is:

during the loud thunderstorm.

"during" is the preposition because it gives information on when something takes place
"thunderstorm" is the object of preposition because it is the noun in the prepositional phrase.

Answer:

The act of measuring

The law of stars

Explanation:

A suffix is a morpheme added after the stem of a word to form a derivative, i.e. a new word. Here, you were given two examples of suffixes - <em>-ment </em>and <em>- nomy</em>, and their meanings.

The word <em>measurement </em>is derived from the verb <em>to measure</em> (<em>measure + -ment = measurement</em>). Based on the meaning of the suffix <em>-ment</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the given word is <em>the act of measuring.</em>

The word <em>astronomy </em>is of Greek origin (<em>astronomos </em>- literally translated as <em>the science that studies the laws of the stars</em>). The root of the word (<em>astro</em>) is derived from the Greek <em>aster</em>, which means<em> a star</em>. Based on this and the meaning of the suffix -<em>nomy</em>, we can conclude that the meaning of the word <em>astronomy </em>is <em>the law of stars. </em>
