Welcome to the 9th Grade Vocabulary Quiz: Prefixes and Suffixes! Prefixes are letters that are added before a word, while suffixes are added after the word. These add-ons either modify a word or make up a new word. Every suffix and prefix is designed to give a specific meaning, and in this quiz, we aim to test out how well you know them and what they mean. All you need to do is choose the best description you see fit.

    • State, condition of

    • Pertaining to, like

    Correct Answer
    A. State, condition of
    Explanation
    The suffix "-hood" is used to indicate the state or condition of something. It is added to a noun to form a new noun that represents the state or condition associated with the original noun. For example, "childhood" refers to the state or condition of being a child. Similarly, "neighborhood" refers to the state or condition of living in a particular area or community. Therefore, the correct answer is "state, condition of".

    -ic

    • Bad, disordered, difficult

    • Pertaining to, like

    • Contrary, opposite

    • Warlike

    Correct Answer
    A. Pertaining to, like
    Explanation
    The suffix "-ic" is used to form adjectives that describe a characteristic or quality. In this case, "pertaining to, like" fits this definition. It suggests that the word ending in "-ic" is related to or has similarities to the root word. The other options, such as "bad, disordered, difficult" or "contrary, opposite" do not accurately describe the function of the "-ic" suffix.

    • Light

    • To do, make

    • Warlike

    Correct Answer
    A. To do, make
    Explanation
    The word "fac" is derived from the Latin word "facere" which means "to do" or "to make". This explanation is supported by the fact that "fac" is commonly used as a root in various English words such as "factory" (a place where things are made) and "facilitate" (to make something easier). Therefore, the correct answer is "to do, make".

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Belli

    • To lead

    • State, condition of

    • I

    • Warlike

    Correct Answer
    A. Warlike
    Explanation
    The word "belli" is derived from the Latin word "bellum" which means war. The suffix "-like" is added to the word "belli" to form the adjective "warlike." This adjective describes someone or something that is inclined towards or characteristic of war. Therefore, the correct answer is "warlike."
