Need ! based on your understanding of affixes, choose the prefix that would adequately complete the sentence. mom and dad had to the house again because it was old. a. re b. dis c. un d. al

To start with, it is necessary to take into account that the prefixes are letters that are situated at the beginning of a word, changing the word's original meaning: Therefore, the prefixes re, dis, un, and al have different meanings. To answer this question it is necessary to understand the meaning of each one:

Therefore, the appropriate answer is A: re because they are going to paint the house again, so they are going to repaint the house. So, the meaning of "Repaint" is the act of paint something again.

I Agree with A (repaint) as well, but for a different reason.  There is a fine line between affix and prefix.  Affix is a lettter (s) added before the beginning or end to MODIFY  its meaning.

Prefix is at the beginning to  CHANGE it's meaning.. Define the difference betweem modidy and change...  (I can't-- can you? )

In the case of re-paint, i think that repaint can be defined as a prefix or affix.    So I pick A..also who else would use those other prefixes..  UnPaint a house ?  Really?   Or Dispaint?    Those aren't words..  I still pick A.  

in a way yes you create your own scheduele but you kind of dont too
