Question

how does adding a prefix affect the spelling of the word root?
a. it only affects words with an i before an e
b. it requires adding an e at he end
c. it has no effect
d. it reverses the usual rule for dealing with the ay sound

Answer 1

Answer:

C.  

Explanation:

It has no effect.  It does not change the spelling of the base or root word, nor does it change the spelling of the prefix.  For example, adding pre- to face in order to talk about the beginning of the novel, you would simply add the prefix to the base..."the preface of the novel is written clearly".
