Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Prefixes and Suffixes interactive exercise for 3
Let’s solve this step by step.

We have two parts to complete:

---

Part 1: Match the corresponding prefix

We need to match each prefix on the left with a base word on the right so that when we combine them, they make a real English word.

Prefixes given:
- dis (green)
- im (blue)
- un (yellow)
- in (red)
- re (pink)

Base words given:
- credible
- honest
- use
- kind
- perfect

Let’s try matching them one by one:

1. dis + ? → ?
- “dis” usually means “not” or “reverse”.
- Try “dis + honest” = dishonest (common word)
- So: dis → honest

2. im + ? → ?
- “im” is often used before words starting with ‘p’ or ‘m’, meaning “not”.
- Try “im + perfect” = imperfect
- So: im → perfect

3. un + ? → ?
- “un” also means “not”.
- Try “un + kind” = unkind
- Also “un + use” = unusable? But “use” alone doesn’t work well with “un” directly — “unused” is possible but not listed as an option here.
- Wait — let’s check “un + credible”? No, that’s “incredible”, which uses “in”.
- Actually, “un + kind” is best fit.
- So: un → kind

4. in + ? → ?
- “in” can mean “not” too.
- “in + credible” = incredible
- So: in → credible

5. re + ? → ?
- “re” means “again”.
- “re + use” = reuse
- So: re → use

Final matches for Part 1:
- dis → honest
- im → perfect
- un → kind
- in → credible
- re → use

---

Part 2: Drag and drop the prefix and write the new word

Prefixes available: re, co, dis, in, im
Base words: play, like, moral, correct, star

We need to pick the right prefix for each base word to form a real word.

Let’s go one by one:

1. play → What prefix makes sense?
- replay (means play again)
- So: re + play = replay

2. like
- dislike (means not like)
- So: dis + like = dislike

3. moral
- immoral (means not moral)
- So: im + moral = immoral

4. correct
- incorrect (means not correct)
- So: in + correct = incorrect

5. star
- costar (means another star in a movie/show)
- So: co + star = costar

All matched!

---

Final Answer:

Part 1 Matches:
- dis → honest
- im → perfect
- un → kind
- in → credible
- re → use

Part 2 Table:

| Prefix | + | Base word | = | New Word |
|--------|---|-----------|---|----------|
| re | + | play | = | replay |
| dis | + | like | = | dislike |
| im | + | moral | = | immoral |
| in | + | correct | = | incorrect|
| co | + | star | = | costar |
