Zorluk: OrtaVerb and Adverb Suffixes

Analyze the morphological structure of each term below. Match each word containing a verb or adverb suffix on the left with its corresponding definition on the right.

  • BroadenTo increase the physical width, scope, or extent of something
  • StepwiseProceeding incrementally by distinct stages or intervals
  • VaporizeTo convert or be converted completely into a gaseous state
  • EarthwardMoving or oriented in a trajectory toward the ground

Cevap

Broaden pairs with 'To increase the physical width, scope, or extent of something'; Stepwise pairs with 'Proceeding incrementally by distinct stages or intervals'; Vaporize pairs with 'To convert or be converted completely into a gaseous state'; Earthward pairs with 'Moving or oriented in a trajectory toward the ground'.
Each pairing aligns the root meaning with its specific derivational suffix: 'Broaden' uses the verb suffix '-en' to mean making broader; 'Stepwise' uses the adverb suffix '-wise' to denote moving step-by-step; 'Vaporize' uses the verb suffix '-ize' to indicate turning into vapor; 'Earthward' uses the directional adverb suffix '-ward' to denote motion toward the earth.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Isolate the root word and identify the grammatical function of each suffix.
Identified verb suffixes '-en' and '-ize', and directional/manner adverb suffixes '-wise' and '-ward'.
Suffixes alter the base word's part of speech and supply distinct functional meanings such as causation or direction.
2
Map the verb-forming words 'Broaden' and 'Vaporize' to their corresponding operational definitions.
'Broaden' matches expanding scope or width; 'Vaporize' matches converting into vapor or gas.
Both '-en' and '-ize' create transitive/intransitive verbs describing a transition or state change.
3
Map the adverb-forming words 'Stepwise' and 'Earthward' to their modifier definitions.
'Stepwise' matches proceeding incrementally; 'Earthward' matches moving in a trajectory toward the ground.
The suffix '-wise' modifies actions by manner/progression, while '-ward' indicates spatial orientation.
