Question

which affixes mean \without\? select two options.
□ a-
□ -cy
□ -ology
□ -ic
□ inter-
□ -ful
□ im-

Explanation:

To determine which affixes mean "without", we analyze each option:

• "a-": As a prefix, it can mean "without" (e.g., "asymmetrical" means without symmetry).
• "-cy": This suffix usually denotes a state or condition (e.g., "democracy"), not "without".
• "-ology": This suffix means "the study of" (e.g., "biology"), not "without".
• "-ic": This suffix is used to form adjectives (e.g., "historic"), not "without".
• "inter-": This prefix means "between" or "among" (e.g., "interstate"), not "without".
• "-ful": This suffix means "full of" (e.g., "helpful"), not "without".
• "im-": As a prefix, it can mean "without" or "not" (e.g., "impossible" means not possible, or without possibility).

So the two affixes that mean "without" are "a-" and "im-".

Answer:

a- (a prefix meaning "without"), im- (a prefix meaning "without")
