What is the meaning of the prefix "bi-"?

One
Two
Many
Half

The correct answer is: Two

The prefix "bi-" originates from Latin and typically denotes the concept of "two." It is commonly used in various English words to signify a duality or a pair. For example, "bicycle" refers to a vehicle with two wheels, and "bilingual" describes someone who can speak two languages. This understanding of the prefix helps in discerning meanings in unfamiliar words where "bi-" is present, reinforcing its association with the number two. Recognizing this can aid in vocabulary expansion and comprehension during reading tests.
