3. Pre

Explanation

The word "before" is used to indicate the time or order in which something happens. In this context, "before" is the correct answer because it is the opposite of "after." It suggests that something occurs prior to another event or in a preceding position.

Explanation

The prefix "micro-" means small or tiny. Therefore, the correct answer is "small" because it is the word that best fits the meaning of the prefix.

5. Trans

Explanation

The word "across" means to go from one side to the other side of something. It implies movement or position from one end or side to the opposite end or side. The other options ("under," "before," and "after") do not convey the same meaning as "across" and do not involve the concept of moving or being positioned from one side to the other.

Submit
6. Hydro, hydr

Explanation

The correct answer is "water" because the root words "hydro" and "hydr" both refer to water. The other options, "under," "warn," and "both ends or all sides," do not have any relation to water.

Submit
7. Mal, male

Explanation

The given answer "bad, evil" is correct because it provides synonyms for the word "good." "Bad" and "evil" are words that have opposite meanings to "good" and can be used interchangeably to convey a negative or unfavorable concept.

Submit
8. -cide

Explanation

The suffix "-cide" refers to killing. It is commonly used in words like homicide (killing of a human), suicide (killing oneself), and pesticide (killing pests). In this context, "-cide" indicates an action or process of killing. Therefore, the correct answer is "killing".

Submit
9. Ist

Explanation

The correct answer is "one who believes in exaggerated fear". This means that the person has a strong belief or conviction in the existence or occurrence of exaggerated fear. It suggests that they may perceive threats or dangers to be greater than they actually are, leading to heightened anxiety or apprehension.

Submit
10. Nov, neo

Explanation

The word "new" means something that is recently made, discovered, or created. It can also refer to something that is not familiar or experienced before. In this context, the word "new" does not have any relation to the other words mentioned in the question such as "nov" or "neo". Therefore, the correct answer is "new" because it does not fit into any of the provided options.

Submit
11. Ann, enni

Explanation

The given words "ann" and "enni" do not have any clear connection or relation to the word "year". However, "year" is a standalone word that can be easily understood and does not require any additional context or information to make sense. Therefore, "year" is the correct answer in this case.

Submit
12. Poly

Explanation

The word "poly" is a prefix that means "many" or "several." It is commonly used in words like "polygon" (a shape with many sides) or "polygamy" (having multiple spouses). Therefore, the correct answer is "many, several."

Submit
13. Bene

Explanation

The word "bene" is an Italian word that translates to "good" in English. Therefore, the correct answer is "good" because it is the translation of "bene".

Submit
14. Sub

Explanation

The correct answer is "under" because it is the opposite of "across" and "before" which suggest a position above or ahead of something. "After" also suggests a position following something, but "under" implies a position below or beneath something.

Submit
15. Brev

Explanation

The word "short" is the correct answer because it is the only word in the given list that directly relates to the word "brev". "Brev" means brief or concise, and "short" is a synonym for these meanings. The other words in the list, such as "water", "large", "great", and "warn", do not have any direct connection to the word "brev".

Submit

17. Amphi

Explanation

The word "amphi" is a prefix that is derived from the Greek word "amphi" meaning "both" or "all". Therefore, when combined with the word "ends" or "sides", it suggests that something is present or can be found on both ends or all sides. This explanation aligns with the meaning of the word "amphi" and provides a clear understanding of the correct answer.
