To identify the words with suffixes that mean more than one, we can look for words that have the suffix "-s" or "-es," which are commonly used to indicate plural forms in English.

Here are the plural nouns among the options given:

  1. pennies (suffix: -ies)
  2. arrows (suffix: -s)
  3. ranches (suffix: -es)
  4. deserts (suffix: -s)
  5. meals (suffix: -s)

Now, you can drag these words (pennies, arrows, ranches, deserts, meals) to the chart.
