Based on the guide to suffixes,
what is the meaning of
prioritization in the following
sentence?
When working on being better
at time management, the idea
of prioritization is key.
A. Prioritization is the quality of
remembering a previous experience.
B. Prioritization is a person who is more
important than all others.
C. Prioritization is a place that is more
important than all others.
D. Prioritization is the state of deciding the
relative importance of one thing over
others.

You can determine the meaning of prioritization in the sentence based on the suffix. The suffix "-tion" refers to an action or the action's result. Therefore, prioritization should refer to a verb, not a noun.

Answers B and C are incorrect because prioritization is referring to a person or place (both nouns).

While I am having a difficult time determining whether answer A is referring to a verb or noun, I can still safely say the correct choice is answer D based on the basic definition of prioritization. To prioritize means to idenitify as something more important than another; it does not directly involve recalling the past. Therefore, the best answer is D.
