Explanation:

Since the problem is about determining word meanings using prefixes (in-/im -) and known words, and it's related to language and word analysis, the subfield from Arts is Linguistics (specifically focusing on word structure and meaning, like morphology and etymology - related to prefixes). But as per the format, since no specific question is asked (like analyzing a particular word's meaning), if we assume a common question like "What is the function of the prefix in - /im - in these words?", here's the explanation:

The prefixes in - /im - (a variant based on word roots, e.g., im - before words starting with 'm', 'p', 'b') generally function to create negative or opposite meanings. For example, "impossible" (not possible), "inaccurate" (not accurate). In the given words: "independent" (not dependent), "improbable" (not probable), "infinite" (not finite, without end), etc. The prefix modifies the root word to convey the opposite or a negated concept.

Answer:

The prefixes in - /im - typically create negative (opposite) meanings for the root words (e.g., independent = not dependent, improbable = not probable).
