Looking at the definitions, definition 2 is "word beginning". Therefore, prefix matches with 2. ## Analyze suffix definition A suffix is an affix placed at the end of a word root to modify its meaning. Looking at the definitions, definition 4 is "word ending". Therefore, suffix matches with 4. ## Analyze combining form definition A combining form is a word root combined with a combining vowel, or a modified form of an independent word that occurs only in combination. Looking at the definitions, definition 3 describes "a word or group of letters that is added to the beginning or end of words to change or add meaning; A modified form of an independent word that occurs only in combination with other words or word parts."
