Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given root words and three suffixes:
-ly,
-ful, and
-ment.
Our job is to pick the right suffix for each root word to make a real, correct English word.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
care → We can say “careful” (meaning full of care) or “carefully” (in a careful way). But “carement” is not a real word. So best fit here is
-ful →
careful
2.
move → “Movely”? No. “Moveful”? No. “Movement”? YES! That’s a real word — it means the act of moving. So →
-ment →
movement
3.
hope → “Hopely”? Not really used. “Hopeful”? Yes! Means full of hope. “Hopement”? Not a word. So →
-ful →
hopeful
4.
warm → “Warmly”? Yes! It means in a warm way (like speaking warmly). “Warmful”? Not common. “Warment”? No. So →
-ly →
warmly
5.
amaze → “Amazely”? No. “Amazeful”? No. “Amazement”? YES! That’s a real word — it means the feeling of being amazed. So →
-ment →
amazement
6.
soft → “Softly”? Yes! Means in a soft way (like speak softly). “Softful”? Not a word. “Softment”? No. So →
-ly →
softly
Now let’s double-check all our answers:
1. care + ful = careful
✔
2. move + ment = movement
✔
3. hope + ful = hopeful
✔
4. warm + ly = warmly
✔
5. amaze + ment = amazement
✔
6. soft + ly = softly
✔
All are real, commonly used English words. Perfect!
Final Answer:
1. careful
2. movement
3. hopeful
4. warmly
5. amazement
6. softly
