Question 1:
We can't work with him anymore. He's too _________ .
A. unresponsible
B. irresponsible
Feedback In the test variants we are given the adjective ‘responsible’ with four prefixes un-, ir-, in-, il-.Prefixes such as un-, in-, im-, il- and ir- change the meaning of adjectives. Adding these prefixes makes the meaning negative: fair – unfair, active – inactive, regular – irregular, balance – imbalance,legal – illegal, etc.As for the prefix re-, it means ‘not, or no’ and it is used with some adjectives and nouns that begin with ‘r’ to give the opposite meaning: irregularity, irreplaceable, irreducible, irrational, etc.Therefore, we are to choose ANSWER 2 (irresponsible).
C. inresponsible
D. ilresponsible
