Question

Which of these words is the original word root of salary?

A. Celebrity
B. Sale
C. Salt
D. Salivate

Answer 1

first , we will look at what "salary" means, its prefix and suffix. it's prefix is "sal" and it's suffix is "ary". But what does salary mean as a word? it means a fixed income or a payment option. Salivating, Salt, and Celebrities have nothing to do with salaries, but Sale does. It is associated with selling something, and it also has the same prefix, which only confirms our answer, B.
