Answer 2

Answer:

Prefix:

• Prefixes are letter or letters added at the beginning of a word. Example: Abnormal .

Suffix:

• And Suffixes are put at the end of the word. Example: Examiner

Money is the means of leading (a) (world)

Money is the means of leading (a) (world)life.

• Money is the means of leading worldly life.
• 'Ly' after 'world' acts as a suffix.

(b) (short)of money makes our life (c) (deplore)

• Shortage of money makes our life deplorable .

• Both 'age' after 'short' and 'able' after 'deplore' play the role of suffixes because suffixes are always used at the end of the word.

We cannot lead our life (d) (proper) for want of money.

• We cannot lead our life properly for want of money.

• Again there is a suffix 'ly' at the end of the word and it is 'properly'.

But there is (e) (difficult) in earning money.

• But there is difficulty in earning money.

• Difficult is a word but 'y' at the end of 'difficult' recognizes that it has been turned into a suffix.

Our peace and prosperity are (f) (depend) proper (g). (utilize) of money.

• Our peace and prosperity are dependent on proper utilization of money.

• Here dependent and utilization are suffixes because we can easily rectify by the position of them( 'ent' and 'ation').

Spending money is an (h) (proper) way can lead us to the path of (i)__(destroy)_So, we should be (care) in spending money.

• Spending money is an improper way can lead us to the path of destruction so, we should be careful in spending money.

• 'Im' at the beginning of the word 'proper' expresses that the word is a prefix and 'ful' at the end of the word confesses it is a suffix.
