I believe the answer is C.) The writer states one thesis statement in the introduction.
Answer:
Contiguous= ous
Immigrant= grant
Influx= ux
Minor= or
Perilous= ous
Proposition: tion
Protocol= col
Status= us
Unaccompanied= ed
Explanation:
A suffix is always after the base of a word. For example, the base word of unaccompanied is "accompani" which is basically "accompany". The letters after that are e and d, so that is the suffix of the word. Hope this helped! I'm not exactly sure about some of the suffixes of some of the words.
The author is using a literary device called "imagery".
