Answer 2

Answer: A word that includes an affix that means "full of" is D. Stupendous.

Explanation: The word "stupendous" contains the affix "-ous", which comes from Latin (-ōsus). The meaning of the suffix "-ous" is "full of"; therefore, it is used to show abundance. In most cases, this suffix is attached to a noun in order to form an adjective; however, in order to form "stupendous", "-ous" has been attached to an adjective ("stupend"). Other words that contain this suffix and that denote abundance are "dangerous", "courageous" and "virtuous".
