🔹 Part A: Circle the words with affixes



We need to identify which words have affixes — either prefixes (added at the beginning) or suffixes (added at the end).

Let’s examine each word:

1. fast – no affix
2. week – no affix
3. reconnectre- is a prefix → has affix
4. big – no affix
5. love – no affix
6. music – no affix
7. uncoverun- is a prefix → has affix
8. beauty – no affix
9. sight – no affix
10. late – no affix
11. use – no affix
12. view – no affix
13. punishment-ment is a suffix → has affix
14. cost – no affix
15. refusere- is a prefix → has affix
16. drive – no affix
17. bakery-ery is a suffix → has affix
18. load – no affix
19. fun – no affix
20. accept – no affix

Words with affixes:
reconnect, uncover, punishment, refuse, bakery

So, circle these five words.

🔹 Part B: Underline the words with affixes in the sentences



Now we look for words with prefixes or suffixes in each sentence.

1. I had to unplug my phone.
- "unplug" → un- is a prefix → underline unplug

2. Tom had his candy inside the jar.
- "inside" → in- is a prefix → underline inside

3. The match was canceled.
- "canceled" → -ed is a suffix → underline canceled

4. Helen is traveling.
- "traveling" → -ing is a suffix → underline traveling

5. Team Chicago finally won the match.
- "finally" → -ly is a suffix → underline finally

---

Final Answers:



#### Part A: Circle these words:
- reconnect
- uncover
- punishment
- refuse
- bakery

#### Part B: Underline these words:
1. unplug
2. inside
3. canceled
4. traveling
5. finally

📝 Explanation:



An affix is a morpheme (meaningful unit) added to a base word to change its meaning or grammatical function.

- Prefixes go at the beginning (e.g., *un-* in *unhappy*, *re-* in *rewrite*).
- Suffixes go at the end (e.g., *-ed* for past tense, *-ing* for present continuous, *-ly* for adverbs, *-ment* for nouns).

In this exercise, we identified words where affixes were clearly attached to base words to form new meanings.
