1. In the word "panorama" what is the suffix ending?

Answer: -orama

"-orama" means "view".
2. What suffix means "resemblance"?

Answer: -oid

Think about the following words: humanoid, trapezoid, sphereoid, and then think about what the word is resembling.
3. The Greek suffix "-lite" means stone.

Answer: True

Yes, words ending in "-lite" usually indicate they are stones, such as berylite or coprolite.
4. Which of these suffixes means "one who solves"?

Answer: -lyst

You probably are thinking about the word pyschoanalyst, which means "mind" or more literally it means "soul" coming from the Greek "psyko-". So a pyschoanalyst "solves" the mind or soul.
5. The suffix "-phobia" refers to a fear or dread of something. Look carefully at the choices and decide which phobia is NOT a true fear.

Answer: melodramophobia

Alektorophobia is the fear of chickens (alekto = rooster); blennophobia is the fear of slime (blenno = mucus or slime); metrophobia is the fear of poetry (metro = meter); and melodramophobia is the odd one, but it could possibile relate to the fear of soap operas (melodramas?)
6. Upon reading the word "euphoria" what do you think the suffix "-phoria" means?

Answer: carrying

The suffix "-phoria" means "carrying, a bearing" and the prefix "eu" means "good" so put it all together and you "carry good" with you.
7. The suffix "-logy" means which of these?

Answer: the study of

Gather up those words that have "-logy" at the end of them and you will see how they are a study of the root or prefix before them, such as biology (study of life), dermatology (study of skin), and etymology (study of words).
8. What suffix would you use to show that someone has a strong feeling for, or had a love for something?

Answer: -phile

A lover of books is a bibliophile, and someone who adores stereo sound is considered an audiophile. So someone who loves testing their trivia knowledge ight be called a "quizophile".
9. If I want to "watch, look at, or spy" I would use which suffix?

Answer: -scope

This one was probably pretty easy when you think about words like microscope (looking at tiny things) and telescope (looking at things far away).
10. Which of the following suffixes forms nouns and means "the act, state, or theory of"?

Answer: -ism

"-ist" forms nouns from verbs like "conformist" or "cyclist"; "-ize" forms verbs from nouns such as "formalize", "jeopardize", "legalize", and "computerize"; and
"-er" is Latin and is added to verbs to make them nouns as in "bake/baker" and "teach/teacher", and "-ism" is often attached to words dealing with religions such as "Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddism" and of course to philosophies and ideologies too - "utilitarism", liberalism" and so on.
