Answer:

Part 1: Matching

1. Sub - B (under, as "sub-" often means under, like "subway")
2. Mis - F (bad, as "mis-" can mean wrong/bad, like "mistake")
3. Sym - A (together, as "sym-" means together, like "symmetry")
4. Bi - E (two, as "bi-" means two, like "bicycle")
5. Anti - C (against, as "anti-" means against, like "antibody")
6. Tri - G (three, as "tri-" means three, like "triangle")
7. Un - D (not, as "un-" can mean not, like "unhappy")
8. Mal - H (bad, as "mal-" means bad, like "malfunction")

Part 2: Definitions

1. Inter - between (e.g., "interact" means act between)
2. Com - together (e.g., "combine" means put together)
3. Pre - before (e.g., "preview" means view before)
4. Super - above/over (e.g., "superior" means above others)
5. Con - together (e.g., "converse" means talk together)
6. Equi - equal (e.g., "equality" means state of being equal)
7. Intro - into/within (e.g., "introduce" means lead into)
8. Non - not (e.g., "nonstop" means not stopping)
9. Syn - together (e.g., "synonym" means word with same meaning, together in meaning)

Part 3: Answer with Correct Stem

1. Which stem means BEFORE? Pre (e.g., "pre -" in "pre - test" means before the test)
2. Which stem means AROUND? Circum (though not in the given stems, but if we consider common ones, but from the context, maybe "Circum" but if from the previous parts, maybe a typo, but if we use common stems, "Circum-" means around. But if we consider the given stems, maybe a mistake, but assuming, if we use "Peri-" but not in the list. Wait, maybe the question expects "Pre" is before, but for around, maybe "Circum" but not in the given. Wait, maybe the original quiz has more stems, but from the given, maybe a mistake. But if we proceed with common stems:
3. Around: Circum (but not in the list, maybe the quiz has "Circum" as a stem not shown, but if we use the given, maybe a typo. Alternatively, maybe "Amb-" but not in the list. Wait, maybe the user expects "Circum" but I think there's a mistake. Alternatively, maybe the quiz has "Circum" as a stem. But assuming, let's proceed:
4. Pre
5. Circum (if exists)
6. After: Post (e.g., "post - test" means after the test)
7. Down: De (e.g., "descend" means go down)
8. Away: Ab (e.g., "abduct" means take away)
9. Beyond: Ultra (e.g., "ultraviolet" means beyond violet)
10. Half: Semi (e.g., "semicircle" means half circle)
11. Within: Intra (e.g., "intravenous" means within the vein)

Wait, but the original quiz's Part 3 may have stems from the previous parts. Let's re - check. The Part 1 has stems: Sub, Mis, Sym, Bi, Anti, Tri, Un, Mal. Part 2 has Inter, Com, Pre, Super, Con, Equi, Intro, Non, Syn. So for Part 3:

1. BEFORE: Pre (from Part 2, "Pre" means before)
2. AROUND: Maybe "Circum" but not in the list, maybe a mistake. Alternatively, maybe the quiz has a stem like "Circum" not shown. But if we use the given, maybe a typo.
3. AFTER: Post (not in the list, maybe "Post" is the stem)
4. DOWN: De (not in the list, maybe "De -" as in "descend")
5. AWAY: Ab (not in the list, maybe "Ab -" as in "abduct")
6. BEYOND: Ultra (not in the list, maybe "Ultra -")
7. HALF: Semi (not in the list, maybe "Semi -")
8. WITHIN: Intra (not in the list, maybe "Intra -")

But maybe the quiz expects the following (assuming common stems):

1. Pre
2. Circum
3. Post
4. De
5. Ab
6. Ultra
7. Semi
8. Intra

But since the original quiz's Part 3 may have stems from the previous parts, maybe there's a mistake. Alternatively, maybe the user made a typo. But based on common word stems:

1. The stem that means BEFORE is "Pre".
2. The stem that means AROUND is "Circum".
3. The stem that means AFTER is "Post".
4. The stem that means DOWN is "De".
5. The stem that means AWAY is "Ab".
6. The stem that means BEYOND is "Ultra".
7. The stem that means HALF is "Semi".
8. The stem that means WITHIN is "Intra".
