Question

how are prefixes and suffixes alike? select two options. both are a type of affix? both are the root of a word. both can change a word’s meaning. both can be added to the end of a word. both can be added to the beginning of a word.

Explanation:

1. Affixes are bound morphemes attached to words. Prefixes and suffixes are the two main types of affixes.
2. Both prefixes (added to the start) and suffixes (added to the end) modify the meaning or grammatical function of the root word they attach to.
3. The root is the core meaning part of a word, not the same as affixes. Prefixes only attach to the start, suffixes only to the end, so those options are incorrect.

Answer:

A. Both are a type of affix.
C. Both can change a word's meaning.
