Explanation:

When the suffix "-ness" is added to an adjective, it forms a noun, for example, "happy" (adjective) becomes "happiness" (noun). The prefix "pre -" means "before", and in the word "prescribe", the prefix "pre -" is present. "Post -" means "after" (as in postscript), "trans -" has meanings like "across" (as in transcript), and "sub -" means "under" or "below" (as in subscribe).

Answer:

1. C. Noun
2. C. Prescribe
