Select the option that will correct the prefix of the highlighted word, and thus the sentence.
The minister was very unlegal in his actions.
To correct the prefix of the highlighted word "unlegal," we need to choose the appropriate prefix that makes the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful.
Explanation:
- The word "legal" means something that is permitted by law or relates to the law.
- The prefix "il-" is used to form the opposite of words that start with the letter 'l'. Therefore, "illegal" means something not permitted by law.
- The other prefixes provided in the options are generally not used in English language formation. For instance:
- "Mislegal" does not exist as a common English word.
- "Dislegal" does not have any known meaning in English.
- "Delegal" is not commonly accepted or valid in standard English usage.
The correct term is therefore "illegal," which fits both the negative form of "legal" and is an accepted word in English.
Conclusion: The option "illegal" correctly modifies "legal" in the context of the sentence:
The minister was very illegal in his actions.
