Question

Tell whether the root of the word below is locked or free.
prepare
A locked
B free

Answer 1

I believe the answer is b. Locked.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you separate the two words they don't make sense. Like if you separate pre from pare it just doesn't make sense. So the answer is b. Locked because the root of the word does not make sense on it's own.

Answer 2

locked should be the answer
