The prefix re-adds the meaning "back" or "again" to a base word.

Which of the following words uses the letters re as a prefix meaning
"back"? *
1. you're
2. returned
3. real
4. before

2. Returned

“Returned” means to come back to something or someone. For example, “The students returned to school in the fall.” Thats means they came back. “Real” is the only other word that has the two letters “re” in it, but it doesn’t mean “back” or “again”. It means something that exists and is not fiction or fake. Hope this helps. :)
