What do the words partial, palatial, and potential have in common?
O They have the same prefix.
They have the same suffix.
O They have similar meanings.
They have the same word root.

They have the same suffix

Explanation:

All those words finish with "al". Remeber that a suffix is a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a word to make a new word. In this case we can take the word palatial, the origin of this word comes from palace (that is the original word so it is the root word), adding "al" it gives a new meaning: suitable for a palace. The same happens with the other words, they don't share meaning and they don't have any preffixes in common (an affix placed before a word.)

close reading is a skill that requires students to determine purpose and notice features and language used by the author so that they can think thoughtfully and methodically about the details in the text and why they were used.

hope this works!
