What is an inflected ending?

  1. A prefix added to the start of a word

  2. A syllable that clarifies the root meaning of the word

  3. A group of letters added at the end of the word to change its meaning

  4. A combination of word roots

The correct answer is: A group of letters added at the end of the word to change its meaning

An inflected ending is a group of letters that is added at the end of a word to change its meaning or indicate changes in tense, number, or person. For example, adding "-ed" to the end of the word "walk" changes it to "walked," indicating past tense. This distinguishes it from the other options provided: A. A prefix is added to the start of a word, B. A syllable clarifies the root meaning of the word, and D. A combination of word roots does not specifically refer to changes made at the end of the word.
