Question

select the correct statement. a combining form is created by adding a vowel to a word root. all terms contain prefixes. the prefix contains the meaning of the word. every term does not contain a suffix.

Explanation:

A combining form is indeed made by adding a vowel (usually an -o-, -i-, etc.) to a word root. Not all terms have prefixes; some words are just roots or have only suffixes. The root, not the prefix, usually contains the core meaning of the word. And it's incorrect to say every term does not contain a suffix as many words do have suffixes to change their part - of - speech or add more meaning.

Answer:

A. A combining form is created by adding a vowel to a word root.
