Question

This question is based on the following words.
(Left) ONE TWO BEN MUG (Right)
If 'C' is added before each word, which of these words will form meaningful English word(s)?

The correct answer is
Only ONE

Exploring Word Formation by Adding a Prefix

The question asks us to determine which of the given words form a meaningful English word when the letter 'C' is placed directly before them.

Let's examine each word:

  • ONE: When 'C' is added before 'ONE', it becomes 'CONE'. 'CONE' is a recognized English word (e.g., an ice cream cone, a traffic cone).
  • TWO: Adding 'C' before 'TWO' results in 'CTWO'. This is not a standard English word.
  • BEN: Adding 'C' before 'BEN' results in 'CBEN'. This is not a standard English word.
  • MUG: Adding 'C' before 'MUG' results in 'CMUG'. This is not a standard English word.

Based on this analysis, only the word 'ONE' forms a meaningful English word ('CONE') when the prefix 'C' is added.

Identifying the Correct Option

We need to find the option that correctly states that only 'ONE' forms a meaningful word.

  • Option 1 suggests 'MUG' and 'ONE'. This is incorrect because 'MUG' does not form a meaningful word.
  • Option 2 suggests 'ONE' and 'TWO'. This is incorrect because 'TWO' does not form a meaningful word.
  • Option 3 suggests 'BEN'. This is incorrect because 'BEN' does not form a meaningful word.
  • Option 4 suggests 'ONE'. This aligns with our finding that only 'ONE' forms a meaningful word ('CONE').

Therefore, the correct choice is the one that identifies 'ONE' as the only word forming a meaningful English word after adding the prefix 'C'.
