Question

Select the items below that can change the meaning of a word. Select all that apply.

affix
suffix
prefix
context

Answer 1

The items below that can change the meaning of a word because 'all' of them show how different parts of a word change the words meaning.

Prefix- Can change the meaning of a word because just adding a simple -UN- or -NON- can completely flip its meaning. For example, Un able and able.

Suffix- Can change the meaning of a word because you can add something at the end of the word to flip its meaning. For example, small and smallest.

Affix- Can change the meaning of a word because an affix can be a suffix or a prefix and both change the meaning of a word.

Context- Can change the meaning of a word depending on what the context is saying. For example, My brother threw a ball at my face, but if you have some context around this statement it can chage its meaning, for example my brother and I were playing catch and accidentally threw a ball at my face.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: Affix, Suffix, and Prefix

A suffix goes at the end of a sentence, such as -ly or -ise. This suffixes can greatly change a word.

Sad

SadLY

The -ly makes the word sad become an adverb, whereas it was an adjective before.

A prefix goes at the beginning of a word, such as pre- or un-. Prefixes can also greatly change a word.

Happy

UNhappy

The un- makes the word happy it's exact opposite.

An affix is a word to describe both prefixes and suffixes.
