Which of the following words has a base word? A. Cartoonish B. Arcade C. Annual D. Empty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

Well, not really. Maybe Annual if that's what you mean.

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

I'm not really good at base words.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Base word: A word usually has three parts to it, they are a root, a prefix and a suffix. It is in the root part of the word that the base element or basic meaning is contained.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The meaning of base word is basically the beginning of a word. Examples: re dis in ad Those are examples and some words that would fit are: re + wind dis + count in + fection ad + sistance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I believe you were correct.

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

Why do you say that? I don't see a word in annual like the ones in your examples

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, their are more. I was just listing examples.

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

So I'm correct on Annual?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup!

OpenStudy (capnkookcx):

Are you sure because this is for a test...
