The suffix -oid denotes which meaning?
Break down
Creation or cause
To View
Resembling
Reveal Answer
Correct Answer:
Resembling
Explanation:
The idea behind this suffix is likeness. -oid signals that something is like or in the form of the base word—in other words, it describes appearance or shape rather than action, origin, or viewing. Think of examples: a humanoid is human-like, an asteroid is star-shaped or star-like, a spheroid is sphere-shaped, and an android is man-shaped. The focus is on how something resembles the base concept, not on breaking down, creating, or seeing something. So, the best fit describes resemblance or likeness. The other possibilities refer to different ideas (breaking down, making, or viewing) and don’t capture what -oid conveys.
