<u>A suffix is a group of letters added to a word's ending</u>. It changes that word into a new one, often changing its category as well - for instance, making a noun out of a verb.

Let's briefly explain each of the answers above:

1. "Confidant" is a noun formed by adding the suffix -ant to the verb "confide".

2. The suffix -ant seen above means "one who" performs an action.

3. The suffix -ence indicates the state of possessing a quality or performing an action. Example: ignorance.

4. "Liquefy" is a verb formed by adding the suffix -fy/efy/ify to the noun "liquid".

5. The suffix -er is added to an adjective in order to compare two elements in the sentence: She is smarter than her sister.

6. "Childish" is an adjective formed by adding the suffix -ish to the noun "child".

7. The adverb "quietly" is formed by adding the suffix -ly to the adjective "quiet".

8. "Friendlier" is an adjective formed from "friendly", which is also an adjective. The suffix did not change the category of the word.

9. The suffix -est is added to an adjective in order to make its superlative form, which extends the comparison to more than just two elements. Example: She is the smartest of the group.

10. The suffix -dom can be added to an adjective in order to change it to a noun. Example: freedom.

<u>In conclusion, understanding the use of suffixes can enrich our vocabulary and comprehension of meanings.</u>

Explanation:

Creola Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights.[1] During her 35-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. The space agency noted her "historical role as one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist".[2]
