Answer:

The prefix pro- means "before." So if you are proactive, you are ready before something happens.

Answer:

before

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are proactive, you make things happen, instead of waiting for them to happen to you. Active means "doing something." The prefix pro- means "before." So if you are proactive, you are ready before something happens. The opposite is being reactive, or waiting for things to unfold before responding.
