Question

prefixes
the prefix \penta\ means \five\.
i doodled a pentagon - shaped alien when i was bored in class.
which is most likely the meaning of the underlined word?
a shape with five sides
a shape with no sides
a shape with six sides

Explanation:

The prefix "penta" means "five". So a pentagon - shaped object would be a shape related to the number five. A shape with five sides fits this as the prefix indicates the number of sides. A shape with no sides is incorrect as a pentagon is a polygon (has sides). A shape with six sides would use a different prefix (like "hexa - " for six).

Answer:

A shape with five sides
