BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In this task you are asked to change the meaning of the adjective by adding a prefix to the root word.
The root word here is 'resident', which is a noun/adjective referring to someone who lives somewhere. By adding the prefix 'non-', you create the negative form meaning 'not a resident' or 'not living in a place'.
Option discussion:
- non-resident: This form uses a hyphen to join the prefix with the root, which is common in many style guides and can be preferred for readability, especially for longer or less familiar compounds. It clearly communicates the prefix attachment and the negation of being a resident.
- nonresident: This form combines the words into a single word, which is also acceptable in some dictionaries and in many modern usage contexts. It treats the entire term as a single adjective or noun-like descriptor.
Note: In standard practice, certain style guides may prefer 'nonresident' as a closed compound, while others prefer 'non-resident' with a hyphen. Both convey the same meaning: not a resident.
There are no alternative prefixes or spellings in this prompt, so the key idea is recognizing that adding the prefix 'non-' to 'resident' yields the negated form, which can appear with or without a hyphen depending on dictionary or style conventions.
