Note: Some words like “unfixed,” “unchief,” or “refix” are not standard English. For “fix,” “unfix” means to undo a fix, which is valid. For “chief,” “archchief” is acceptable in some contexts, but “unchief” is not standard — the worksheet may expect “anti-chief” or simply leave it blank. The most natural and common prefixes are used where possible.
