    The correct answer is "ous". In this question, we are asked to choose a suitable suffix for the root word "danger". The suffix "ous" is commonly used to form adjectives, and it means "full of" or "having the quality of".

    The root word "bright" refers to something that is shining or giving off light. The suffix "ness" is added to the root word to form the noun "brightness," which means the quality or state of being bright. This suffix is commonly used to form abstract nouns from adjectives, indicating a specific quality or state. Therefore, "ness" is the suitable suffix for the root word "bright" in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Poverty
