Final Answer:
1. in + appoint + ly = inappositely
2. ab + friend + able = abfriendable → incorrect; correct: *ab* + *friend* + *able* →
affordable (but “friend” doesn’t combine with “ab” and “able” naturally — wait, re-evaluate)
Let’s carefully match each prefix, root, and suffix to form real English words:
Given:
- Prefixes: in, ab, dis, mis, un
- Root words: appoint, friend, spell, normal, describe
- Suffixes: ly, able, ment, ing, ity
We need 5 valid words, each using one prefix + one root + one suffix.
Try combinations:
1.
in +
spell +
ing =
inspelling?
✘ Not a word.
Better:
mis +
spell +
ing =
misspelling ✔
2.
un +
friend +
ly =
unfriendly ✔
3.
dis +
appoint +
ment =
disappointment ✔ (note: *dis* + *appoint* + *ment* → disappointment — yes,
4.
ab +
normal +
ity =
abnormality ✔
5.
mis +
describe +
ing =
misdescribing ✔
But we used *mis* twice — not allowed; each prefix/root/suffix used once.
Let’s assign uniquely:
Use all 5 prefixes, 5 roots, 5 suffixes — one each.
Check real words:
-
in +
normal +
ity =
innormality?
✘
But
abnormality = ab + normal + ity
✔
-
un +
friend +
ly =
unfriendly ✔
-
dis +
appoint +
ment =
disappointment ✔
-
mis +
spell +
ing =
misspelling ✔
- Remaining: prefix
in, root
describe, suffix
able →
indescribable ✔ (yes! *in* + *describe* + *able* = indescribable)
Perfect — all used once:
1.
indescribable (in + describe + able)
2.
unfriendly (un + friend + ly)
3.
disappointment (dis + appoint + ment)
4.
misspelling (mis + spell + ing)
5.
abnormality (ab + normal + ity)
Yes — all are real, standard English words.
Final Answer:
1. indescribable
2. unfriendly
3. disappointment
4. misspelling
5. abnormality
