scouring
inert
bereaved
contagion

1. which of the following is the correct suffix of the word scouring?

-scour: to take, to seize, to hold
-sco: to go, to yield, move, go, surrender
no prefix
-scou: to kill, to cut, cut down

1. inert can be best defined as:

not moving or in able to move
moving rapidly
moving at an immensely slow pace
moving side to side

Explanation:

• Question 11: "Bereaved" specifically refers to the state of having lost a loved one through death. "Scouring" means cleaning thoroughly. "Inert" means inactive. "Contagion" refers to the spread of a disease.
• Question 12: "Scouring" is the present - participle form of the verb "scour". The base form is "scour", so there is no prefix in the sense of an additional affix other than the -ing ending (which is a suffix for present - participle).
• Question 13: "Inert" means lacking the ability or strength to move. "Not moving or in able to move" (assuming it means "not able to move") is the correct definition. "Moving rapidly" is the opposite. "Moving at an immensely slow pace" still implies some movement. "Moving side to side" also implies movement.

Answer:

1. Bereaved
2. No prefix
3. not moving or in able to move
