Which word with the suffix -tude implies a state of being thankful?

Latitude
Attitude
Gratitude
Solitude

The correct answer is: Gratitude

The word with the suffix -tude that implies a state of being thankful is "gratitude." The suffix -tude is often used to form nouns that describe a state or condition. In this case, "gratitude" derives from the Latin word "gratus," meaning thankful or pleasing, thus effectively conveying the state of being grateful or thankful. This aligns with the definition of the word, as it encapsulates the emotional state of appreciation towards someone or something. The other options, while also valid words, do not convey the meaning of thankfulness. "Latitude" refers to the geographical measurement of distance north or south of the equator, "attitude" describes a person's mental state or feelings toward something, and "solitude" refers to the state of being alone or isolated. None of these options reflect a state of thankfulness, making "gratitude" the only appropriate choice.
