What is the word part placed before a word to change its meaning?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A prefix is the correct answer. A prefix is a word part attached at the beginning of a word to modify its root word, changing the definition or grammatical function of the word. Examples of prefixes include "un-" in "unhappy," "re-" in "redo," and "pre-" in "preview." Choice B, "Affix," is incorrect because while a prefix is a type of affix, not all affixes are prefixes. Choice C, "Suffix," is incorrect as a suffix is a word part added at the end of a word to change its meaning. Choice D, "Vocab," is incorrect as it refers to vocabulary or words related to a particular subject rather than a word part placed before a word.

Question 5 of 5
What word describes a trip to Hawaii that a vacationer FELT was too short?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The word 'ephemeral' means lasting for a very short time. In this context, a vacationer feeling that their trip to Hawaii was too short implies that they found it to be brief or fleeting, making 'ephemeral' the most suitable choice among the options provided. Ponderous means slow and clumsy; salacious means obscene or lustful; erudite means showing great knowledge or learning. These words do not convey the idea of brevity or shortness, unlike 'ephemeral,' which perfectly fits the scenario described.
