Question

Accepted Answer

### 1. uprooot
# Brief Explanations:
The word "uprooot" has an extra 'o' which is likely a typo. The correct base word after removing the prefix "up - " (assuming the intended word is "uproot") would be "root". But if we consider the given misspelled "uprooot", removing the prefix "up - " and the extra 'o', we get "root".
# Answer:
root

### 2. flexible
# Brief Explanations:
To find the base word, we remove the suffix " - ible". The suffix " - ible" is used to form adjectives meaning "capable of". Removing it from "flexible" gives "flex".
# Answer:
flex

### 3. ornamentally
# Brief Explanations:
We start by removing the adverb - forming suffix " - ly", which gives "ornamental". Then we remove the adjective - forming suffix " - al" from "ornamental" to get the base word "ornament".
# Answer:
ornament

### 4. belonging
# Brief Explanations:
First, we remove the inflectional ending " - ing" which is used for the present participle form. Removing " - ing" from "belonging" gives "belong".
# Answer:
belong

### 5. clinging
# Brief Explanations:
The word "clinging" is in the present participle form. We remove the inflectional ending " - ing" to get the base verb "cling".
# Answer:
cling

### 6. ineffective
# Brief Explanations:
We remove the prefix "in - " which means "not" and the suffix " - ive". The suffix " - ive" is used to form adjectives. Removing "in - " and " - ive" from "ineffective" gives "effect".
# Answer:
effect

### 7. fragrance
# Brief Explanations:
We remove the suffix " - ance" which is used to form nouns. Removing " - ance" from "fragrance" gives "fragrant" is incorrect. Wait, no, "fragrance" has the suffix " - ance", and the base word is "fragr" is wrong. Wait, correct approach: The base word is "fragrant" is an adjective, but the noun "fragrance" has the root "fragr" (from Latin "fragrare" meaning "to smell"). But more simply, removing the suffix " - ance" from "fragrance" gives "fragrant" is incorrect. Wait, no, "fragrance" is formed from "fragrant" + " - ce"? No, "fragrance" is from Latin "fragrantia", so the base word (root) is "fragr" (related to smell). But if we consider the English word structure, removing the suffix " - ance" from "fragrance" gives "fragrant" is wrong. Wait, I made a mistake. Let's do it properly: "fragrance" is a noun. The suffix " - ance" is added to the adjective "fragrant" to form the noun. So removing " - ance" from "fragrance" gives "fragrant". But "fragrant" is an adjective. The base root is "fragr", but in English word - building, the base word here (after removing " - ance") is "fragrant". Wait, no, the question says "remove the prefix, suffix, or inflectional ending". So "fragrance" has the suffix " - ance", so removing " - ance" gives "fragrant". But "fragrant" is an adjective. But if we go further, "fragrant" has the suffix " - ant", so removing " - ant" from "fragrant" gives "fragr". But "fragr" is not a common English word. So the most appropriate base word after removing the suffix " - ance" is "fragrant". Wait, no, the problem says "write a vocabulary word", so "fragrant" is a vocabulary word. But maybe I was wrong earlier. Let's re - examine: "fragrance" = "fragrant" + " - ce"? No, "fragrance" is from "fragrant" (adjective) + " - ce" (noun - forming suffix). So removing " - ce" from "fragrance" gives "fragrant". But "fragrant" has the suffix " - ant". So maybe the intended base word is "fragr" (but it's not common). Alternatively, maybe the question considers "fragrant" as the base word after removing " - ce" (but " - ce" is not a common suffix). Wait, perhaps I made a mistake. Let's start over. The word "fragrance": the suffix is " - ance", so removing " - ance" gives "fragrant". Yes, "fragrant" is a valid vocabulary word.
# Answer:
fragrant

### 8. carrier
# Brief Explanations:
We remove the suffix " - er" which is used to form nouns meaning "one who does or carries". Removing " - er" from "carrier" gives "carry".
# Answer:
carry
