The suffix -let is used to form a word that means:

• A. State of
• B. Toward
• C. Large one
• D. Small one

Answer: (D)

The suffix -let signals a diminutive, meaning a smaller version or a little one. When you add -let to a noun, it often describes something that is smaller or a younger form of the base word—examples include booklet (a small book), piglet (a young pig), and leaflet (a small leaf or a small printed sheet). Because of this meaning, -let is used to convey “small one.” The other interpretations—toward, state of, or large one—don’t align with how -let changes a word, since they correspond to different suffixes or ideas and don’t produce the diminutive sense demonstrated by -let.
