How are prefixes and suffixes alike? Select two options. Both are a type of affix. Both are the root of a word. Both can change
QveST [7]

Answer:

Both are a type of affix.

Both can change a word's meaning.

Explanation:

Prefixes and suffixes are both types of affixes. An affix is something that is placed at the beginning or end of a word to modify its meaning. The suffix /-ology/ can be added to a root word to change the meaning to /the study of/ whatever the word is. The prefix /de/ can be added to a root to indicate that something is going down; /a/ can be added to show it is going up. For example, the words ascend and descend use these prefixes to show where something is going.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

"Time is precious" is the title of the following story.

Explanation:

The story is as follows:-

Pihu was the only daughter of her parents. They were very rich. Pihu was a pampered child and became very ill disciplined and lazy because of her parents extra love and pamper. She never used to do complete her homework on time. She was never on time for any task given to her.

One day her grandmother came to visit them from the village. She was not very happy with Pihu's behavior. So, she decided to take care of her and teach her good things. To reform her, she decided to give her one task everyday. At the end of completion of each task, she would get a reward from the grandmother.

One day her Pihu was very hungry when she returned from school and wanted to eat food. Grandmother behaved very lazily to prepare food for her. Then after some time she cooked food for Pihu and took a long time to prepare it. This way she taught Pihu the value of time.

We should always do things on time. Grandmother explained that had she prepared before her coming from school, it would have saved time and Pihu would not have got stomach ache because of hunger. Pihu realized her mistake and promised to behave well and do things on time.
