Let's solve the problem step by step.
The task is to
add the prefix "un-" to each base word to form a new word. The prefix "un-" typically means "not" or "opposite of," so we're creating words that mean the opposite of the base word.
Here are the pairs:
1.
un + fair = unfair
→ "Unfair" means not fair.
2.
un + afraid = unafraid
→ "Unafraid" means not afraid.
3.
un + lucky = unlucky
→ "Unlucky" means not lucky.
4.
un + safe = unsafe
→ "Unsafe" means not safe.
5.
un + usual = unusual
→ "Unusual" means not usual (i.e., strange or rare).
6.
un + true = untrue
→ "Untrue" means not true.
7.
un + finished = unfinished
→ "Unfinished" means not finished.
8.
un + expected = unexpected
→ "Unexpected" means not expected.
