what does \prepay\ mean?
to pay using bills and coins
to pay a very high price
to pay for the wrong thing
to pay before getting something

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "prepay", we analyze the prefix "pre - " which means "before" and the root word "pay" which means to give money for goods or services. So combining them, "prepay" should mean to pay before receiving something (like a service or product). Let's check the options:

• "to pay using bills and coins" is about the payment method, not related to the prefix.
• "to pay a very high price" is about the amount of payment, not related to the prefix.
• "to pay for the wrong thing" is about an incorrect payment, not related to the prefix.
• "to pay before getting something" matches the meaning of "pre - " (before) + "pay".

Answer:

to pay before getting something
