Question

based on the list of suffixes, what is the correct spelling of the word that means funny?

o humorus
o humoress
o humorous
o humorless

Explanation:

The suffix -ous is used to form adjectives meaning 'full of'. The root word is humor. 'Humor + ous = humorous' which means funny. 'Humorus' is a misspelling. The suffix -less means without (humorless means not funny). The suffix -ness forms nouns (humorousness is a noun meaning the quality of being humorous).

Answer:

humorous
