Questions: Removing the "u," which of the following prefixes would change the word "utopia" to an accepted word with the opposite meaning? mis. anti- fore- dys.

The answer is D: dys-.

Explanation for each option:

• mis-: This prefix generally means "wrong" or "badly," as in "misunderstand" or "misplace." However, "misutopia" is not a recognized word in English.
• anti-: This prefix means "against" or "opposite of," as in "antibiotic" or "antithesis." While "antiutopia" could theoretically mean the opposite of a utopia, the more commonly accepted term is "dystopia."
• fore-: This prefix means "before" or "in front of," as in "foresee" or "foreword." It does not fit the context of creating a word that means the opposite of utopia.
• dys-: This prefix means "bad" or "difficult," as in "dysfunctional" or "dyslexia." The word "dystopia" is a well-recognized term that means a society characterized by human misery, oppression, or squalor, which is the opposite of a utopia.

Therefore, the correct prefix to change "utopia" to a word with the opposite meaning is "dys-," forming the word "dystopia."
