Let’s go step by step.
We are given three prefixes to choose from:
re,
un, and
dis.
Our job is to pick the right one for each root word so that the new word makes sense.
Let’s look at each one:
1. ___ please → We want a word meaning “not pleased” or “to make unhappy.” That’s
displease.
2. ___ able → This means “not able.” So,
unable.
3. ___ draw → This means “draw again.” So,
redraw.
4. ___ happy → This means “not happy.” So,
unhappy.
5. ___ agree → This means “not agree.” So,
disagree.
6. ___ usual → This means “not usual.” So,
unusual.
7. ___ tell → This means “tell again.” So,
retell.
8. ___ equal → This means “not equal.” So,
unequal.
9. ___ obey → This means “not obey.” So,
disobey.
10. ___ write → This means “write again.” So,
rewrite.
Now let’s double-check:
- displease
✔ (common word)
- unable
✔
- redraw
✔
- unhappy
✔
- disagree
✔
- unusual
✔
- retell
✔
- unequal
✔
- disobey
✔
- rewrite
✔
All of these are real words and match the meanings we expect.

5. dis
