Which word part is added to an affix to make a new word?
A suffix
A root
A prefix
A few letters
A root
Where would you place the suffix for a word?
The middle of a word
The end of the root word
The beginning of the root word
The end of the root word
C. a word part added before or after a root word
The correct answer is C. An affix is a word part that is added either before or after a root word to modify its meaning. It can be a prefix, which is added before the root word, or a suffix, which is added after the root word. So, an affix is not just a random group of letters without any meaning (option A), nor is it the exact meaning of a word (option B). Instead, it is a specific linguistic element that changes the meaning of a root word by functioning as a prefix or suffix.
