Question

Read the sentence and study the table.

The women’s club held fundraisers on a semiannual basis.



A 2-column table with 1 row. The first column is labeled Prefix with the entry semi-. The second column is labeled Meaning with the entry half in value; happening once halfway through a specific time period.

Based on the definition of the prefix, what does the underlined word mean?

once a year
twice a year
twice a month
every other year

Answer 1

twice a year

("Semi-" means half, so semiannual = occurring every half-year — i.e., twice a year.)
