Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question involves matching each word with the correct meaning of its bolded prefix, root, or suffix. Each of the provided words includes a component that alters its meaning. Here's the explanation for each:
- A) Forewarned: The prefix 'fore-' means 'before'. Therefore, the word suggests an action of warning in advance.
- B) Bakery: The root word here is 'bake', and the suffix '-ery' indicates a place where baking occurs.
- C) Grateful: The root word 'grate' is derived from 'gratus' meaning pleasing, and the suffix '-ful' means 'full of', indicating a state of appreciation or thankfulness.
