2. Which answer choice is a word built from the base word satisfy by adding a prefix and a suffix?
a. satisfaction
b. dissatisfy
c. dissatisfaction
d. Satisfactorily

The answer choice is:

c. dissatisfaction

Explanation:

Let's take a look at each option and use elimination to find the correct one.

a. satisfaction --> consists of the base word satisfy and the suffix -tion. Since there is no prefix, this is INCORRECT.

b. dissatisfy --> consists of the prefix dis- and the base word satisfy. Since there is no suffix, this is also INCORRECT.

c. dissatisfaction --> CORRECT option. It is formed by the prefix dis-, the base word satisfy, and the suffix -tion.

d. satisfactorily --> consists of the base word satisfy and two suffixes, - ory and -ly. This is not what we are looking for, so it is INCORRECT.

A prefix is a letter or group of letters which are placed at the beginning of a word. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the ending of a word. Both are used to transform that word into a new one by altering its meaning.
