The task asks for the most appropriate affix to complete the word in context. The stem given is 'biblio_ _ _ _ e', and the surrounding clue indicates a person who loves literature.

First, recognize the base 'biblio-' meaning 'book' or 'books'. To form a word describing a person who loves books, we need a suffix that conveys 'lover of'. The suffix '-phile' (or the root 'phil-') is commonly used to denote an affinity or love for something, as in bibliophile (a person who loves books).

Since the instruction specifies that only the affix needs to be typed in, the correct affix is 'phil' to attach to 'biblio' and form 'bibliophile' when combined with the rest of the word.

Why other possibilities wouldn’t fit here: there are no alternate affixes provided in the prompt, and replacing the intended '-phile' with other endings would fail to produce a standard word meaning a lover of books. For example, using an ending that denotes action or a place would not align with the meaning 'lover of books'.

In this context, the intended meaning is clear: a person who surrounds themselves with literature of all kinds, i.e., a bibliophile. Therefore, the appropriate affix to type is phil.
