Question

attempt 1 of 2
using the example words as a guide, determine which affix most likely means \to resemble or look like.\

a. -less
b. -oid
c. acro-
d. hypo-

Explanation:

To determine the affix meaning "to resemble or look like", we analyze each option:

• Option A: "-less" means "without" (e.g., "hopeless" = without hope).
• Option B: "-oid" is a suffix meaning "resembling" or "like" (e.g., "humanoid" = like a human).
• Option C: "acro-" is a prefix related to "height" or "extremity" (e.g., "acrophobia" = fear of heights).
• Option D: "hypo-" is a prefix meaning "under" or "below" (e.g., "hypothermia" = low temperature).

So, "-oid" matches the meaning "to resemble or look like".

Answer:

B. -oid
