Question

determine word meanings using known words and suffixes -ful and -less — quiz — level c. what does \cordless\ mean? options: using a cord, having a cord, not a cord, without a cord.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "cordless", we analyze the suffix "-less", which means "without". The root word "cord" refers to a cord (like a wire or cable). So combining the root and the suffix, "cordless" should mean without a cord. Let's check the options: "using a cord" and "having a cord" are incorrect as they imply the presence of a cord. "not a cord" is incorrect as it misinterprets the meaning (it's not about what a cord is, but the presence/absence of it). "without a cord" matches the meaning from the suffix and root.

Answer:

D. without a cord (assuming the options are labeled A - D as: A. using a cord, B. having a cord, C. not a cord, D. without a cord)
