To match the root or affix with its meaning, we need to understand the meanings of each option and then find the best match.
Let's break it down:
-ic: This suffix indicates "relating to" something. For example, "scientific" means "relating to science."
-ive: This suffix suggests a tendency toward an action. For example, "talkative" means "tending to talk."
omni-: This prefix implies "all" or "every." For example, "omniscient" means "knowing everything."
ultra-: This prefix indicates "beyond" or "extreme." For example, "ultraviolet" means "beyond the violet end of the spectrum."
extreme: This is not a root or affix but a word itself. It means being at the furthest point or limit. For example, "extreme cold" means extremely cold temperature.
Based on these definitions, the matching pairs would be:
-ic: relating to
-ive: tending toward an action
omni-: all
ultra-: extreme
