The prefixes-im and-in mean ____
A
to carry
B
not
C
life
D
by yourself
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Meaning not or no: when the prefix ‘im’ is used with some adjectives and nouns that begin with b, m, or p, it states the opposite meaning. For example immortal, immature, imperfect, etc. When used before words beginning with m and p, it means in, into, towards, or within. For example implant, immigration, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -The prefix in-changes its form to il-before an l; to im-before b, m or p; and to ir-before r. This prefix (and its variations) have two meanings. Meaning 1: not, without. Tom’s inability to whistle always frustrated him. The argument was illogical.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-, Un-, Dis-, and Ir-are all prefixes meaning “not.”

Detailed explanation-4: -Use im-prefix before words that start with m or p: impossible. Use ir-prefix before words that start with r: irregular. Use in-prefix with words that start with consonants and vowels, but not i or u.

Detailed explanation-5: -immobile. Something immobile is still, motionless, or incapable of moving.
