what is the meaning of interpretation in the following sentence? some writers like to allow readers to create their own interpretation of the story.
interpretation means to be able to fix.
interpretation means having creativity.
interpretation means a state of understanding.

Explanation:

First, analyze the suffix of "interpretation". The suffix "-tion" (from the given suffix list, "-sion; -tion" means "state of being"). In the sentence, readers create their own way of understanding the story. "To be able to fix" and "having creativity" don't match the context or the suffix meaning. "A state of understanding" fits the suffix's "state of being" and the context of how readers understand a story.

Answer:

C. Interpretation means a state of understanding.
