Answer 6

Can someone explain why?

Answer 7

Pos and Dis can both be prefixes, however, in this case, if you take off the "pos" in "position" , the result would be "ition" which isn't a word. Prefixes are only prefixes if they can be taken off a word and the result is still a word. Does that make sense?

Yes, thank you!
