Explanation:

Question 19

The prefix "trans-" in "transmit" (or "transmit" - related words, and "transmit" has the prefix "trans-" meaning "across" as in sending across. So the meaning of "trans-" in "transmit" (assuming the word is "transmit" or similar) is "across".

The prefix "omni-" means "all" (e.g., omnipotent means all - powerful, omniscient means all - knowing). "super-" means above or beyond, "sub-" means under. So the prefix meaning "all" is "omni-".

Suffixes like "-ize" are used to form verbs (e.g., "organize", "realize"). "-ly" is an adverb suffix (e.g., "quickly"), "-ous" is an adjective suffix (e.g., "dangerous"). So the suffix indicating a verb is "-ize".

Answer:

across
