The Shift Note Decoder

Negation prefixes say a thing is absent. Opposition prefixes say something acts against it. Quality prefixes judge how well it is working. Three different jobs that students collapse into one — so tap every highlighted term in these shift notes, name the job the prefix is doing, and then say what the whole term means.

Highlighted words are the ones carrying a prefix. Tap any of them — in any order — and answer in the panel beside the note.
