To solve the problem of matching the suffixes to their definitions, let's carefully consider the meaning of each suffix.
### Suffix: -er, -or
The suffixes "-er" and "-or" are commonly added to verbs to indicate a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. For example:
- A "writer" is someone who writes.
- A "director" is someone who directs.
Therefore, this suffix fits the definition:
- C) One who; action or process; more
Thus, the match for "-er, -or" is C.
### Suffix: -ship
The suffix "-ship" is used in many English words to denote the quality, state, or condition of something. For example:
- "Friendship" refers to the state of being friends.
- "Leadership" refers to the quality or state of being a leader.
This matches the description:
- B) The state of being something
Hence, the match for "-ship" is B.
### Suffix: -ment
The suffix "-ment" is employed to indicate the result or outcome of an action. For example:
- "Achievement" indicates the result of achieving something.
- "Development" specifies the process or result of developing.
It aligns with the definition:
- A) Result of an action
Consequently, the match for "-ment" is A.
Putting it all together, we have the following matches:
- -er, -or ➔ C) One who; action or process; more
- -ship ➔ B) The state of being something
- -ment ➔ A) Result of an action
Hence, the final result is:

(\text{\ -er, -or: } C, \text{\ -ship: } B, \text{\ -ment: } A)
\][/tex]
