Look at these words. Which words have suffixes that mean "related to or characterized by"? Drag them to the chart.

Question

cheery, electrical, gathered, musical, hearts, faulty, scratching, brotherly, magical

Answer 1

The suffix "-al" in "electrical," "musical," and "magical," as well as the suffix "-ly" in "brotherly," indicate being related to or characterized by. Therefore, the words with suffixes meaning "related to or characterized by" are:

- Electrical
- Musical
- Magical
- Brotherly

If there was a chart provided, these are the words that would be dragged to the appropriate section indicating "related to or characterized by." However, since this is a text-based format, just consider that these four words fit the criterion.

Answer 2

there are 5 words to find

Answer 3

Apologies for the oversight. Beyond "electrical," "musical," "magical," and "brotherly," the suffix "-y" in "cheery" and "faulty" also conveys the idea of a characteristic or being related to. So, including those, the correct list is:

- Electrical (related to electricity)
- Musical (related to music)
- Magical (related to magic)
- Brotherly (characterized by, or showing, brotherhood or affection like that of a brother)
- Cheery (characterized by cheerfulness)
- Faulty (characterized by faults)

While "gathered" and "scratching" might imply action or a state of being, they do not fit the suffix rule in question, and "hearts" is simply a plural noun without a suffix indicating a characteristic. Hence, the fifth word with the desired suffix meaning "related to or characterized by" is "cheery." "Faulty" also fits, making the total six words rather than five.
