Question

By studying the suffix of “fallacy,” a reader can conclude it means “without being false.” “someone who does something false.” “the state of being false.” “having the quality of being false.”

Answer 1

The state of being false

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The suffix -cy is indicating that the word is a noun, so the meaning should be eithef related to a concrete or abstract thing. The only meaning that can be related to an abstract idea is "the state of being false". Choices B and D refer to ideas tipically expressed by adjectives, as they are qualities. Choice A is the opposite meaning of fallacy.
