UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND

to give an example so that i can follow with ease
Hi altaf,
I want to give you an advice. First, look up in the dictionary and make sure that you understand well all of the words: "postpone", "Posthumous" etc.
Then, try to find the description of the word below.
For instance, "To delay an event/plan until a later date/time" means to postpone, so the right answer to that question will be 1 (as "postpone" is number 1).
If you could not guess the right answer, try another one and than press "Check answers" button again.
It is not at all complicated.
Have a nice day!

Strangely enough, the prefix, which means a syllable which comes before the main word (legible - readable; il (prefix) legible - unreadable, actually means after. A post mortem is an examination carried out after death. A.m. - Ante (before) meridiem means before noon ; p.m.- post (after) meridiem means after noon. Meridiem being the middle of the day - noon.
