    A root word is a word that can stand alone as a word. This means that it is a complete word on its own and does not require any additional word parts or modifications to have a meaning. Root words are the basic building blocks of words, and other words can be formed by adding prefixes or suffixes to them.

    Before I went to elementary school, I went to ________

    Correct Answer
    preschool
    Explanation
    Before attending elementary school, children typically attend preschool. Preschool is an educational setting where young children learn and develop social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills through play and structured activities. It serves as a foundation for formal education and prepares children for the transition to elementary school. Therefore, it is logical to assume that the blank in the sentence should be filled with "preschool."

Prewashing helps to ensure that the clothes are thoroughly cleaned and prevents any potential damage or discoloration during the main washing cycle.
