@saucvi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it any word that ends in tion?

OpenStudy (jacob902):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because a word like station and a word like addition are two different things.

OpenStudy (saucvi):

Not just random words, I am sure he means the suffix "-tion". They are usually used for verbs I believe. Like "manifestation" and "revelation"

OpenStudy (jacob902):

so what is the final answer

OpenStudy (chanty2squirrelcx):

Well, you should know now c:

OpenStudy (chanty2squirrelcx):

But I don't think it's verb :p

OpenStudy (jacob902):

so the leaves us with 3 left

OpenStudy (saucvi):

-tion is typically added to a verb. When it is added to a verb, is usually creates a noun. Thus your answer is B.

OpenStudy (chanty2squirrelcx):

For example, take the words that saucvi said, "manifestation" . Now take the -tion out of that word and you'll get "manifest". Manifest means to "clear or obvious to the eye", making that a verb. So therefore the answer can't be "verb". But place the -tion back in the word, now it is "manifestation", which means "an act of manifesting", making it a noun.
