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>

If you were to save the world or make it a better place how and why would you do it?
sveticcg [70]

Answer: Bring people together almost as MLK did

Explanation: I would make the world a better place by bringing everyone together no matter race, creed, or religion because there seems to be a huge divide between different types of race. Everyone needs to be there for each other in order for the world to become a better place. I would do this to see the oncoming generations thrive peacefully without the thought of having to be better than another country or have more of a certain thing for social status.

Which amendment did some Americans criticize as not going far enough to make suffrage universal?
BigorU [14]
It would be the fifteenth amendment. As you may know, the fifteen amendment was passed, and it prohibited the federal and state governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". Why do we still say it didn't make suffrage universal? Because if you were a woman, you were still not allowed to vote. Not until the 19th amendment
