Hi,

I’ve been confused about how to fill those sentences:

  1. I’m sure the library has the (refer) books you need.
  2. It’s a (relative) short trip from here to Mark’s house.
  3. It’s (reason) to expect to get your own way all the time ** unreasonable? ** I don’t actually understand this sentence. Am I right, claiming that the sentence means more or less “you can’t get everything in the way you want!”?
  4. Exercise helps you love weight, and has (add) health benefits. added?

Regards,
M.

I think the Word Formation in the title is referred to words formed by different parts of speech. That is to say, a word in the form of a verb, a noun, an adjective or an adverb.
For example, a verb “add” may have the form of a noun as “addition”, an adjective as “additional” or an adverb as “additionally”.

I think the exercise asks you to choose the correct part of speech for the given word in the sentence without changing the meaning.

I’m sure the library has the (refer) books you need.
I’m sure the library has the (reference) books you need.

It’s a (relative) short trip from here to Mark’s house.
It’s a (relatively) short trip from here to Mark’s house.

It’s (reason) to expect to get your own way all the time ** unreasonable? ** I don’t actually understand this sentence. Am I right, claiming that the sentence means more or less “you can’t get everything in the way you want!”?
It’s (reasonable) to expect to get your own way all the time.

Exercise helps you love weight, and has (add) health benefits. added?
Exercise helps you lose weight, and has (additional) health benefits.

If there is anything not appropriate, please feel free to correct me.
