English

Answer:

It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century, so it has a 200-year pedigree.

Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people, and it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.

Explanation:

Compound sentences are sentences that consist of two or more independent clauses connected by a comma and conjunction or by a semicolon. There are only seven coordinating conjunctions:<em> for, and, nor, but, or, yet, </em>and <em>so.</em>

An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Unlike independent clauses, dependent (subordinate) clauses don't fulfill these criteria, which is why they can't stand alone as sentences.

This means that you need to choose sentences that consist of more than one independent clause and no subordinate clauses. These sentences are:

  • <u>It began its development with the velocipedes or bone-shakers of the nineteenth century</u>, so <u>it has a 200-year pedigree</u>.
  • <u>Yet even then riding was still unaffordable for the great majority of people</u>, and <u>it would take many years before bikes became cheap enough for all.</u>

The underlined parts are independent clauses that make up these sentences.

Enig-ma

The word enigma had its first known use in the mid 16th century, used as a noun to refer to a person, thing or situation considered obscure or concealed/unknown.


  • Root:

As is the case with more than 50% of English words, which have either Latin or Greek roots references, enigma has two root references. The word<em> aenigma</em> from the Latin language, means riddle and from the Greek word <em>ainigma</em> obtained from the word <em>ainissesthai</em> which means to speak in riddles derived from ainos  - fable.

Prefix:


In this case there is no identifiable prefix.

Suffix:

A letter or group of words that when placed after the main word changes it meaning or gramatical function.

-ma is related to -ment (Middle English) concrete result of something... from the same  Greek noun suffix - mat / -ma
