This image presents a "Sorting Activity" designed to teach word formation using suffixes. The task is to match the root words with the correct suffixes and then pair them with their corresponding definitions.
Here's how to solve it:
1.
Identify the Root Words: We have two incomplete root words: "reflec____" and "electri____".
2.
Identify the Suffixes: We have two suffixes: "-cian" and "-tion".
3.
Identify the Definitions: We have two definitions:
* "someone who works with electricity"
* "the result of something being reflected"
Step-by-Step Solution:
*
For "reflec____":
* Adding the suffix "-tion" creates the word "reflection".
* The definition for "reflection" is "the result of something being reflected".
* Therefore, "reflec____" + "-tion" = "reflection", which matches the definition "the result of something being reflected".
*
For "electri____":
* Adding the suffix "-cian" creates the word "electrician".
* The definition for "electrician" is "someone who works with electricity".
* Therefore, "electri____" + "-cian" = "electrician", which matches the definition "someone who works with electricity".
Final Answer:
The correct pairings for the sorting activity are:
*
reflec____ + -tion = reflection (meaning: the result of something being reflected)
*
electri____ + -cian = electrician (meaning: someone who works with electricity)
