Answer 2

15) After dinner the mother (b) laid the child in the cradle.; (16) Yesterday I met (b) a European; (17) "re" in the word "re examine" is (b) prefix.

Explanation for the answers:

• In the first sentence, "laid" is to be filled as this sentence is in the past tense.
• The past tense form of to lay is laid while the past participle of to lay is laid.
• In the second sentence, "a" is to be filled as the indefinite article precedes a word starting with a consonant sound.
• In the last sentence, "re" in the words "re examine" is a prefix as 're' is placed before another word "examine".
• A prefix refers to an affix which is placed before the stem of a word.
• Placing it to the starting of one word changes it into another word or meaning.
• Therefore, the correct answer is (15) (b) laid, (16) (b) a, and (17) (b) prefix.
