Explanation:
Each prefix changes the meaning of the base word. For example:
-
un- negates the meaning (e.g., unwell means not well).
-
dis- indicates separation or reversal (e.g., disobey means not to obey).
-
mis- suggests error or wrong action (e.g., misbehave means to behave badly).
By carefully selecting the appropriate prefix, we can form meaningful words that fit the context.
Final Answer:
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
\text{unchief} & \text{misfect} & \text{displease} \\
\text{distrust} & \text{disappear} & \text{unhale} \\
\text{disobey} & \text{uncorn} & \text{unwind} \\
\text{unwell} & \text{misbehave} & \text{disagree} \\
\text{unpair} & \text{untidy} & \text{repel} \\
\text{unvise} & \text{impossible} & \text{confess} \\
\text{eject} & \text{produce} & \text{pert} \\
\end{array}
