Question

which is the prefix in disappointedly?
○ dis-
○ appoint
○ -ed
○ -ly

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a root word to change its meaning. In the word "disappointedly", the root word - related part we can analyze for prefix is from the base "appoint" (with relevant affixes considered). The prefix here is "dis -", as "dis -" is added at the start to modify the meaning of the base word (the part that would relate to "appoint" - like in "appoint" and then with "dis -" making it "disappoint"). Among the options, "dis -" (the option likely labeled with "dis -" as per the image's options) is the prefix.

Answer:

The prefix in "disappointedly" is "dis -" (assuming the option with "dis -" is the correct one from the given options in the image, e.g., if the options are like: A. dis -, B. appoint, C. -ed, D. -ly, then the answer is A. dis -).
