Question

use the sentence to answer the question.
the toy is not fixable, so we will have to buy a new one.
what does fixable mean?
(1 point)
the result of fixing
the act of fixing
a person who fixes
can be fixed

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "fixable", we analyze the context of the sentence "The toy is not fixable, so we will have to buy a new one." This implies that the toy cannot be repaired (fixed), so "fixable" should mean capable of being fixed. Let's analyze each option:

• "the result of fixing" does not match the meaning related to the toy's ability to be fixed.
• "the act of fixing" refers to the action of fixing, not the ability of an object to be fixed.
• "a person who fixes" is a person (a fixer), not related to the object's property.
• "can be fixed" matches the meaning of "fixable" (able to be fixed) as the toy not being fixable means it can't be fixed, leading to buying a new one.

Answer:

D. can be fixed
