Question

con-
multi-
pre-
plic
centr
cede
-ent
-ation
-er

Explanation:

We need to combine a prefix, root, and suffix to form a word matching the definition: "something that happened earlier that is used as an example."

1. The prefix pre- means "before/earlier".
2. The root cede relates to "happen/occur/proceed".
3. The suffix -ent forms a noun meaning a thing or instance.

Combining these creates "precedent", which is an earlier event used as an example or guide for future situations.

Answer:

pre- + cede + -ent = precedent
Selected options:

• pre-
• cede
• -ent
