Solution

failed
failed

The answer is B: Before.

Explanation:

  • The prefix "ante-" is derived from Latin and means "before" or "in front of." In the context of the sentence, an "anteroom" is a room that is situated before or in front of another room, typically used as a waiting area before entering a main room or area.
  • "Against" is incorrect because it does not relate to the meaning of "ante-." The prefix for "against" is typically "anti-."
  • "Beyond" is incorrect because it suggests something further or more distant, which is not the meaning of "ante-."
  • "After" is incorrect because it is the opposite of "before," and the prefix for "after" is typically "post-."
