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.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
