The prefix "ultra-" signifies what?

Within
Excessively, beyond
Through
Around

The correct answer is: Excessively, beyond

The prefix "ultra-" signifies "excessively" or "beyond." This prefix is derived from Latin and is often used to indicate a degree that surpasses normal limits. For instance, in terms like "ultraviolent," it refers to levels of violence that are extreme or excessive. Understanding this prefix can help in decoding various words where "ultra-" suggests an intensity or extent that goes beyond what is usual or expected. Other options reflect different prefixes that indicate other meanings, such as "within," "through," or "around," but they do not convey the specific meaning associated with "ultra-."
