In formal English, negative prefixes must conform to specific morphological rules of assimilation. Which of the following words correctly completes the sentence below?

'The committee found the officer's conduct to be completely _______, as he failed to follow safety protocols.'

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: irresponsible

Cevap

The word 'irresponsible' correctly completes the sentence.
The correct form is 'irresponsible'. When forming the negative of adjectives starting with 'r', the prefix 'in-' undergoes phonetic assimilation and becomes 'ir-'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the required meaning and base root.
The sentence requires an adjective meaning 'not responsible' to describe conduct violating safety protocols.
Contextual evidence indicates a negative behavioral attribute derived from the root word 'responsible'.
2
Apply the rule of prefix assimilation for Latinate roots.
The negative prefix 'in-' converts to 'ir-' before stems starting with the liquid consonant 'r'.
English morphological rules require 'ir-' before words starting with 'r' (e.g., responsible -> irresponsible, regular -> irregular).

In English word formation, the Latin prefix *in-* (and its assimilated variants *im-*, *il-*, *ir-*) usually denotes negation. However, in certain words derived from Latin verbs, it serves as an intensive or locative prefix meaning 'into' or 'upon'. In which of the following words does the prefix *in-* function as an intensive marker rather than a negative marker?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Inflammable

Cevap

The word 'inflammable' uses the prefix 'in-' as an intensive marker rather than a negative marker.
In the word 'inflammable', the prefix 'in-' acts as an intensive prefix (originating from Latin 'inflammare', to set on fire), yielding the definition 'easily ignited'. In contrast, in words like 'incurable', 'inadmissible', and 'inaudible', the prefix 'in-' functions as a privative (negative) prefix meaning 'not'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the function of the prefix 'in-' across the given vocabulary choices.
Identify that 'in-' can function either as a privative prefix meaning 'not' or an intensive/directional prefix meaning 'into/upon'.
Prefixes derived from Latin often carry polysemous historical roots depending on whether they attach to adjectives or verbs.
2
Evaluate 'incurable', 'inadmissible', and 'inaudible'.
All three words negate their base stems (not curable, not admissible, not audible).
The prefix 'in-' acts as a negative prefix when combined with these adjectival roots.
3
Evaluate 'inflammable'.
'Inflammable' derives from the Latin verb 'inflammare' (to inflame/set on fire), where 'in-' reinforces the action of catching fire.
Here 'in-' is intensive, meaning 'easily ignited' or 'combustible', which is why 'flammable' and 'inflammable' are synonymous.
