Question

determine word meanings using known words and suffixes (level c)
what does \changeable\ mean?

• not making a change
• the result of changing
• can be changed
• without any changes

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "changeable", we analyze the word structure. The suffix "-able" means "capable of" or "able to be". So "changeable" combines "change" (to make or become different) with "-able", meaning capable of being changed. Let's check the options:

• "not making a change" is incorrect as it implies inaction, not the ability to be changed.
• "the result of changing" refers to an outcome, not the quality of being changeable.
• "can be changed" matches the meaning of "changeable" (able to be changed).
• "without any changes" means unchanging, which is the opposite.

Answer:

can be changed
