Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the correct prefix:
im,
dis, or
un.
---
1. It seems ___possible to make Tom laugh.
We’re looking for a word that means “not possible.”
The correct prefix here is
im →
impossible.
(“Dispossible” and “unpossible” are not real words.)
✔ So, answer:
im
---
2. These shoes are ___comfortable.
We want to say the shoes are *not* comfortable.
The correct prefix is
un →
uncomfortable.
(“Discomfortable” isn’t used — we say “uncomfortable.” “Imcomfortable” doesn’t exist.)
✔ So, answer:
un
---
3. Your closet is ___tidy!
We mean the closet is *not tidy*.
Correct prefix:
un →
untidy.
(“Distidy” and “imtidy” aren’t real words.)
✔ So, answer:
un
Wait — let me double-check! Actually, sometimes people might think of “disorganized,” but the word given is “tidy.” The opposite of “tidy” is “untidy.” Yes,
un is correct.
But hold on — look at the picture: the closet is messy. And the sentence says “Your closet is ___tidy!” — so it’s saying it’s NOT tidy. Definitely
untidy.
✔ Confirmed:
un
---
4. It is ___polite to use loud voice in the classroom.
We mean it’s *not polite*.
Correct prefix:
im →
impolite.
(“Dispolite” and “unpolite” are not standard English.)
✔ So, answer:
im
---
5. You always ___agree with me!
We mean you do *not agree* — you disagree.
Correct prefix:
dis →
disagree.
(“Unagree” is sometimes heard but not correct; “imagree” doesn’t exist.)
✔ So, answer:
dis
---
Now let’s list all answers:
1. im
2. un
3. un
4. im
5. dis
Wait — let me check #3 again. Is there any chance it’s “dis”? No — “distidy” is not a word. “Untidy” is correct.
Also, for #2: “uncomfortable” is correct. Not “discomfortable” — that’s not how we say it.
All good.
Final Answer:
1. im
2. un
3. un
4. im
5. dis
