Question

2. What does the suffix -able mean?

Answer 1

2. The correct answer is capable of being.

Suffixes are parts of words that you add AFTER the root word, unlike prefixes, which you add BEFORE root words. The suffix -able is added to words (usually nouns or verbs) to create adjectives with the meaning of 'capable of being.' For example: manageable (capable of being managed), doable (capable of being done), etc.

3. The correct answer is arrogantly.

Connotation refers to your opinions, thoughts, and feelings you get when you hear a particular word; what emotions a word can elicit from you. When you see the word arrogantly, you immediately have negative feelings about that word. The other example, proudly, tends to have a positive connotation.

4. This question is the same as question 3.

5. The correct answer is because.

You need to choose a suitable conjunction in order to complete this sentence. Conjunctions are words that link parts of sentences or texts. In this case, the appropriate conjunction is the word because. The phrase The reason (why)... is always paired with because.

6. The correct answer is act of seeing ahead; supply .

The word provision contains the prefix pro- and the suffix -ion. Pro-means ahead, and -ion means act. The root word vis- refers to sight. So, if you combine these three into the word provision, it means the act of seeing ahead, or a supply of something.

7. The correct answer is make.

As mentioned above, suffixes are parts of words that are added after the root word in order to make a new word. The suffix -ize means to make something, and is usually added to nouns to create verbs. For example: vaporize (to make something into vapor), energize (to give something more energy), etc.

8. The correct answer is trusted with.

The English verb to commend (and also its derivatives, the participle/adjective commended) comes from the Latin root word mandare, which means to entrust. You can see that the part -mend from commend is similar to mand- from mandare, which means that they have similar meanings. If somebody is commended with doing something, it means that they are (en)trusted with doing that.

9. The correct answer is bring or carry.

Root words are the smallest parts of words to which prefixes and suffixes are added. So, if you delete the prefixes and suffixes, you are left with a root word. The meaning of the root fer in Latin is to bring or carry. For example: in the word transfer, you bring something somewhere else.

10. The correct answer is scribble : write.

In order to complete this analogy, we need to determine the relationship between the first two words. Chat is like a small version of talk, which means that we need the same relationship in the following two words. If you scribble something, you do it shortly and quickly, which is like a small version of writing, if that makes sense. And given that chat and talk are the same parts of words (both verbs), we need the same parts of words in the other pair (both scribble and write are verbs as well).
