Question

choose the correct answer. which of the following shares a word part with the word \allusion\? word parts: prefix, root, suffix envision active depicting

Explanation:

First, break down "allusion": its root is lud/lus (meaning "to play" or "to refer to"), with the prefix ad- (changed to al- for ease of pronunciation) and suffix -ion. Now analyze the options:

• "envision" has the root vis (to see), no shared part.
• "active" has the root act (to do), no shared part.
• "depicting" comes from the root pict (to paint/represent), no shared part. Wait, correction: Re-examining "allusion" – its core root is lus (from ludere "to play"). Wait, no, another angle: "allusion" has the suffix -ion. "envision" has no -ion; "active" has -ive; "depicting" has no -ion. Wait, error correction: The correct breakdown is "allusion" = al- (prefix, from ad- "toward") + lud (root, "to play") + -ion (suffix). Now, none of the options share the root, but wait – no, "envision" has en- prefix, "active" -ive suffix, "depicting" -ing suffix. Wait, no, a mistake: actually, "allusion" and "envision" do not share, "active" no, "depicting" no? No, wait, recheck: The root lud (play) is in "allude", "illusion", but not the options. Wait, the suffix -ion is not in any option. Wait, no – maybe the prefix? No. Wait, no, I misread: "envision" has vis, "active" act, "depicting" pict. Wait, no, the correct shared part is: "allusion" has the root lus (from ludere), but none of these? No, wait, no – the question says "word part (prefix, root, suffix)". Wait, "allusion" ends with -ion, but none of the options have -ion. Wait, no, "envision" is en- + vis + -ion? No, "envision" is a verb, it's en- + vision (which is vis + -ion). Oh! "vision" in "envision" has the suffix -ion, same as "allusion"’s suffix -ion. Yes, that's the shared word part (suffix -ion). "envision" contains "vision", which has the -ion suffix, while "allusion" has the -ion suffix. The other options have no -ion suffix.
