suffixes a reader understand the meanings of words. which words in the sentence have suffixes? check all that apply.
prior
audience
hysterical
contemptible
villain

Hysterical and contemptible. Hysteria and contempt respectively. A suffix modifies but doesn't completely change the definition. So audio and audience has sound etymological linkage but it would be awkward to call it a suffix. Maybe though.

peace, morning, sun glooming, sorrow, woe pardon’d, punished, more hence, talk, story. all of these three words have to do something with a depressed, regretful tone. woe is another word for misery, heartache, so all of these words are about unhappy feelings.

i would need the dialogue to answer this.
