Analyzing Prefixes in Context

Before the start of their journey, the explorers checked their equipment. They wanted to ensure they were prepared for any unexpected challenges. As they reassembled their supplies, they realized some items needed to be pre-packed for easier access during the trek. Throughout the expedition, they encountered situations that required quick thinking and re-evaluation of their plans, especially when faced with unanticipated difficulties. Their success depended on their ability to adapt and understand the significance of pre-planning and re-assessment in challenging environments.
