Which affixes mean “without”? check all that apply.

Your question is missing the options. I found the whole question online and it is as follows:

Which affixes mean “without”? Check all that apply.

a-

-cy

ex-

-ic

inter-

-ful

im-

The affixes that mean "without" are a-, ex-, and im-.

Explanation:

The affixes a-, ex-, and im- are, more specifically, prefixes. They are all employed by being attached to the beginning of words with the purpose of creating a new one. They carry a meaning of their own which is, for the three of them, "not", "out of", or "without". Examples are the words amoral, exstipulate, and impatient. Amoral refers to living without moral sense; exstipulate refers to being without stipules (it's a Botany-related word); and impatient means without patient, not having patience.

expository writing is one of the most common types of writing.
