it may begin with a vowel or a consonant.
it appears at the beginning of a word.

Explanation:

Analyze suffix position

A suffix is a word part added to the end of a word root to modify its meaning. Therefore, the statement "It appears at the end of the word" is true, while "It appears at the beginning of a word" is false (that describes a prefix).

Analyze suffix spelling rules

Suffixes can begin with either a vowel (e.g., -itis, -ectomy) or a consonant (e.g., -logy, -megaly). Therefore, the statement "It may begin with a vowel or a consonant" is true, while "It always begins with a vowel" is false.

Answer:

• It appears at the end of the word. (Correct answer)
• It may begin with a vowel or a consonant. (Correct answer)
• It appears at the beginning of a word.
• It always begins with a vowel.
