Complete the following sentence. in the word excitedly, -ly is a prefix. preposition. root. suffix.

The answer is D, suffix. This is because a prefix is a phrase at the beginning of a word, while a suffix is a phrase at the end. An example of a prefix would be the phrase "pre-", which appears in words like preschool, preview, etc. An example of a suffix would be, as you mentioned, "-ly". This appears in words like happily, unfortunately, etc. The answer also isn't B, a preposition, because a preposition is a word like for, on, or after. And if you were wondering, it's not C, a root, because root words are words with no prefix or suffix. It holds the most basic meaning of any word.  If you took the word lovely, you can see that it has a suffix at the end, which is "-ly". Now, if you took out the suffix, what would the word be? It would be "love". That is an example of a root word. This is why your answer would be the answer D, suffix. Now you can impress your friends, parents, and teachers with this knowledge!
