It looks like you've uploaded a page from a textbook or educational material that lists
combining forms related to
time and
physical factors, along with their meanings and examples. However, there is no specific problem or task stated in the image itself — it's just a reference table.
To help you effectively, I need clarification on what the actual
task or
problem is. Based on the content, here are some possible interpretations of what the task might be:
---
Possible Tasks:
1.
