Question

What does the word reorganize mean in the following sentence? Carrie decided to reorganize her closet before the new school year started. A. change the shelves B. empty out C. buy new clothes D. put in order again

Answer 1

The answer would be D, to put in order again.
Reorganize is made up of a prefix (re) and root word (organize), re meaning "to do again". Therefore, we can determine that reorganize means "to organize again."
But we are not done yet! We know organize means to order, so it would make sense for the answer to be D, put in order again.

Answer 2

The answer would be (D), put in order again.
If we look closely we can see that the word "reorganize" is really just re+organize. Re is a prefix, and it means "again".
We know that to organize is to order, and re means again, so reorganize would mean "to put in order again."
Hope I helped! ;)
