The prefix "com-" generally signifies:

  1. With, together, very

  2. Against, opposing

  3. From

  4. Around

The correct answer is: With, together, very

The prefix "com-" comes from Latin and primarily indicates the concepts of "with" or "together." It is commonly used to form words that convey a sense of joint action or involvement among people or objects. For instance, in words like "communicate," "compete," and "combine," the prefix emphasizes the collaboration or connection between subjects. This prefix effectively captures the essence of collective interaction, making it vital in conveying meaning in various contexts. While the other options refer to different prepositions or meanings, they do not accurately reflect the primary and consistent application of "com-" across the vocabulary it is part of.
