What does the prefix "Hyper" typically mean?

  1. Insufficient

  2. Excessive

  3. Normal

  4. Underdeveloped

The correct answer is: Excessive

The prefix "Hyper" signifies an excessive or overabundant state. It is commonly used in various medical and scientific contexts to describe conditions characterized by heightened levels or activities. For instance, "hypertension" refers to excessively high blood pressure, and "hyperactivity" indicates an unusually high level of activity. This understanding of "Hyper" can assist in recognizing and interpreting terms related to conditions that indicate an overnormal situation. In contrast, the other options represent conditions or states that imply a lack or reduction, which does not align with what "Hyper" describes. Thus, the choice of "B. Excessive" aligns perfectly with the definition and applications of the prefix.
