Final answer:

The word 'Provide' is the correct answer to the student's riddle. The prefix 'Re-' before the word 'provide' appears redundant since providing already implies a possibility of continuous action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is being asked to find a 7-letter word that would fit the riddle describing a process of filling up or furnishing, which could potentially be made redundant by the prefix "Re-". The correct answer is D) Provide. This word, when proceeded by "Re-", creates "Reprovide", which seems redundant since to provide is already to furnish or supply. The act of providing again isn't typically expressed with the prefix "Re-" as it's understood that providing can be a continuous or repeated action.



Examples of using the word provide include:

  • The school will provide all the necessary textbooks for the course.
  • To provide a better future for their children, they worked two jobs.
  • After the storm, local authorities worked to provide shelter and food for displaced residents.
