Question

the prefix inter means between. an interfaith marriage is a marriage between two people of different religions, or faiths. what does the word \interstate\ mean in the sentence below? we took the interstate highway from maine to virginia. a not states b states again c against states d between states

Explanation:

The prefix "inter" means "between" as given. The word "interstate" is formed with "inter" (between) and "state". The sentence says the highway is from Maine to Virginia (two different states), so "interstate" should mean between states. Option A ("not states") is incorrect. Option B ("states again") would use a prefix like "re -", not "inter -". Option C ("against states") would use a prefix like "anti -", not "inter -". Option D matches the meaning of "inter" (between) and the context of the highway between two states.

Answer:

D. between states
