Question

Read the paragraph.

Lexie’s face grew red with embarrassment. As she walked into school, she quickly realized that she was the only student wearing a bathrobe and slippers. She looked at the bulletin board and gasped. "Oh no! I must have misread the calendar. Pajama Day is tomorrow.”

Which word in this paragraph contains a prefix?

A. bathrobe
B. bulletin
C. gasped
D. misread

Answer 1

Answer: The prefixed word in this paragraph is ''read''. The prefix is ''re-'', which means ''again'' or ''once more''. The word ''read'' means ''to read (a text, a book, etc.)'', and the word ''reread'' means ''to read again''.

Thus, the correct answer is D. ''misread''.
