Which word can be put in front of each of these words to make three new words: ___fly, ___place, ___work?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. fire

  1. Step 1: Try 'fire': firefly, fireplace and firework are all words. Step 2. The other options fail on at least two of the three. Answer: fire. Why not the others: sun: This does not make 'sunfly' or 'sunplace'. wind: This does not make 'windfly' or 'windplace'. water: This does not make 'waterfly' or 'waterplace'.
