Sumup

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

Choice.A

Choice A is incorrect because "rate" is not the correct prefix for the word "overexaggerate." The correct prefix is "over," so it should be "overexaggerate," not "rateexaggerate." Prefixes change the meaning of words, and "rate" doesn’t make sense in this context.

Rate

Choice.B

Choice B is correct. The prefix "over-" means "too much" or "beyond." In "overexaggerate," it adds the idea of doing something more than necessary. So, "over-" is the correct prefix for "overexaggerate" because it shows the idea of going beyond regular exaggeration.

Over

Choice.C

Choice C is incorrect because "exaggerate" is the root word of "overexaggerate," not its prefix. "Over-" is the prefix, meaning excessively. "Exaggerate" is the base word, meaning to overstate or amplify. Thus, "overexaggerate" combines both prefix and base word.

Exaggerate

Choice.D

Choice D is incorrect because it incorrectly states that "Overexaggerate" is the prefix for the word "Overexaggerate." A prefix is a morpheme added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning, but in this case, "Overexaggerate" itself is a complete word, not a prefix.
