Answer 1

Answer:

One effect of the Latin suffix -ent is to turn

D. a verb into an adjective.

Explanation:

The Latin suffix -ent has the effect of turning verbs into adjectives. It conveys the idea that this person or thing is the performer or the cause of a specific action. It can also refer to something or someone that is in a specific condition. Take a look at the examples below. Notice how we are transforming verbs into adjectives:

- absorb --> absorbent

- differ --> different

- refer --> referent

Now let's form some sentences with a couple of the adjectives above to have an idea of how the suffix is used:

- Joshua told me about the different ideas his group had.

- I bought the most absorbent towels I could find.
