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 |
