Here are some words translated from an artificial language.

relftaga means carefree

otaga means careful

fertaga means careless

Which word could mean "aftercare"?

a

zentaga

b

tagafer

c

tagazen

d

relffer

correct answer c

In this language, the root word taga, which means care, follows the affix (relf, oâ€“, or ferâ€“). Therefore, in the word aftercare, the root word and the affix would be reversed in the artificial language. The only choice, then, is tagazen, because tagafer would mean less care
