When we match the descriptions to the options, we have:

1. confidant

5. -er

6. childish

7. quietly

8. friendlier

<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>

From what you’ve observed of Odysseus, how would you describe what the Greeks valued in a hero? Do we value these same traits to
Stolb23 [73]
Greeks seem to value strength over morality and heroic acts over small kindnesses. You can see this in the stories of their gods. Zeus was immoral and made many mistakes, but was still to be considered one to be worshiped. <span />

A business with two locations buys seven large
omeli [17]

Answer: price of a large van = $35000

price of a small van = $30000

Explanation:

Let the price of a large van = x

Let the price of a small van = y

Since A receives 5 large vans and 2 small vans for a total cost of $235,000. Location B receives 2 large vans and 3

small vans for a total cost of $160,000. This can be written as:

5x + 2y = 235000 ........ i

2x + 3y = 160000 ........ ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 5

10x + 4y = 470000 ..... iii

10x + 15y = 800000 ..... iv

Subtract iii from iv

11y = 330,000

y = 330000/11.

y = 30,000

From equation I,

5x + 2y = 235000

5x + 2(30000) = 235000

5x + 60000 = 235000

5x = 235000 - 60000

5x = 175000

x = 175000 / 5

x = 35000

Therefore, price of a large van = 35000

price of a small van = 30000

How would you Check a statement to determine.that is a simile
Delvig [45]
A simile will always use either the word "like" or "as" to create a comparison. It's important not to mistake the statement for a metaphor, which is a comparison that typically uses words such as "is" to connect the two topics or objects.
