To solve this matching problem, we need to align each suffix from the provided terms with its appropriate definition.
Here are the suffixes and their definitions:
1. Suffix: -on; -tion; -ation
- Candidates for definitions:
- A) Act; process
- B) Science of; study of
- C) State of being; act of
2. Suffix: -ment
- Candidates for definitions:
- A) Act; process
- B) Science of; study of
- C) State of being; act of
Let’s start matching:
- For the suffix -on; -tion; -ation, this suffix is commonly used to transform verbs into nouns and often signifies the act or process of something.
- Therefore, -on; -tion; -ation aligns with definition A) Act; process.
- For the suffix -ment, it is used to indicate the result of an action or the state of being.
- This aligns with definition C) State of being; act of.
Lastly, the definition B) Science of; study of doesn't match either of the suffixes provided. Hence, it doesn’t align with the terms given in this specific task.
So the final matching is:
- Suffix: -on; -tion; -ation matches with Definition A) Act; process.
- Suffix: -ment matches with Definition C) State of being; act of.
The correctly filled table should look like this:
```plaintext
| Match | Term | Definition |
|-------|----------------------|-----------------------|
| A | - -on; -tion; -ation | A) Act; process |
| C | -ment | C) State of being; act of |
```
Thus, the correct matches are:
- -on; -tion; -ation matches with A) Act; process
- -ment matches with C) State of being; act of.
