Answer 1

Hint: What is a suffix? Which word will you add at the suffix of the word given so that the word formed will make sense and is a word in the English dictionary?

Complete answer:
Step 1: Try and error. Put all the words at the suffix and check if the answer makes sense or no.
What is a suffix? Suffix means at the end of the word. What is a prefix?
Prefix means prefix which means prior to the word. Pre, the word means before or at the beginning of the root word. Thus prefix means at the start of the word.
The word to which a prefix and suffix is to be added is known as the root word. Here, the root word is allow.Try and error :
Option A: Allowance sounds correct and is the right word because it exists in the Oxford Dictionary. The meaning of the word allowance is a payment, grant or pocket money.
Option B,C,D do not make sense because they would make the words allowance, allowed and allowed respectively which do not make sense and are incorrect.

Allowance means the grant given to a person.
Usage of the word is mentioned below:
The employees receive a quarterly allowance every year.
The older employees receive an additional winter allowance.
Hence the correct answer is option ‘A'.
