Select the correctly formed word using a suffix with the root word to complete the sentence: The scientist's findings gained ____ because of repeated experimental verification.
credibility
The blank needs a noun, since it follows the verb "gained," which takes a noun as its object.
"Credible" is an adjective, and "credition" is not a standard English word, so neither fits the required noun form.
Adding the suffix "-ity" to the root "credible" forms the standard noun "credibility," meaning the quality of being believable, which correctly completes the sentence.
