Question

the best way to locate a suffix is to look for a word part that
includes \pre\, \a\, or \en\ for example.
shows the word’s central meaning.
is added to the end of the word root.
is added to the beginning of a word root.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definition of a suffix. A suffix is a morpheme added to the end of a word root (or base word) to modify its meaning or create a new word. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: "pre", "a", "en" are examples of prefixes (added to the beginning) or other word parts, not suffixes. So this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The part that shows the word’s central meaning is the root (or base) of the word, not a suffix. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: This matches the definition of a suffix (added to the end of the word root). So this is correct.
• Option 4: A morpheme added to the beginning of a word root is a prefix, not a suffix. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. is added to the end of the word root.
