Understanding the nuances of prefixes and suffixes is essential for unlocking the meaning of complex English words. These affixes often change the grammatical function of a word, or refine its meaning by indicating aspects such as time, manner, location, or amount. For example, the addition of the prefix 'dis-' to 'appear' transforms it into 'disappear,' altering the meaning significantly. Similarly, the suffix '-less' can be added to 'fear' to create 'fearless,' changing the word from a noun to an adjective and altering the concept it conveys. Considering the significance of these affixes, and based on your understanding of their usage, analyze the following: 1. Identify and explain the role of both the prefix and the suffix in the word 'helplessness,' and discuss how they modify the original meaning of the base word 'help.' 2. Create a new word using a different prefix and suffix with the base word 'comfort,' and justify your choice of affixes based on the meaning you intend to convey with the new word.Answer sheet:
