Which of the following is an example of a word that uses the suffix -th?

Growth
Altitude
Fortitude
Dimension

The correct answer is: Growth

The word "growth" is an example of a word that uses the suffix -th. This suffix is often used to form nouns indicating a state or condition, particularly in a way that suggests a measure or degree. In "growth," the suffix modifies the root "grow," giving it the meaning of the process or state of increasing in size or development. Other options, while they are all valid words, do not contain the suffix -th. "Altitude" pertains to height or elevation, "fortitude" refers to strength of mind in facing difficulties, and "dimension" relates to measurement, but none of these words include the -th suffix in their formation. Thus, "growth" effectively illustrates the use of the suffix, aligning with the question criteria.
