Answer:

The possible suffixes are -able, -ous, -ation, and -ance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first three possible suffixes are very common to see:

-continuable is an adjective meaning that something can be continued;

-continuous is also an adjective, meaning something is constant, it doesn't stop;

-continuation is a noun that refers to the process of carrying an action on for a period of time.

It is not as common to see the noun continuance, but it does exist. It is a synonym for continuation.
