Question

Identify the best suffix to add to the given root word:
Strict

• A. ible
• B. ly
• C. ity
• D. able

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option C: 'Strict' forms a word with the suffix 'ly': strictly.

'Strictly' means 'in a way that involves rigid enforcement or that demands obedience'.

Hence option C is correct.

Options A, B and D: The words 'strictible', 'strictable' and 'strictity' do not exist in standard English language.

Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
