Answer 1

In the words "enable" and "endanger," the prefix "en-" means "to cause to be" or "to put into."

1. In "enable," it means to make able or to empower someone to do something.
2. In "endanger," it means to cause to be in danger or to put at risk.

So, the correct interpretation of the prefix "en-" in this context is "to cause to be."
