In the United States, there has been an increasing concern about the effectiveness of public education, particularly in the realm of literacy. A campaign has been launched to improve the reading skills of high school students, focusing on the importance of understanding word formation and etymology. The campaign promotes the idea that by mastering prefixes and suffixes, students can significantly enhance their vocabulary and comprehension of textual material. A group of linguists was invited to analyze the impact of this strategy on a sample of students. After conducting a series of workshops that introduced common prefixes and suffixes drawn from classical languages as well as contemporary English, the linguists administered a test to assess the students' comprehension of new words formed with these linguistic elements. Based on the provided context, which statement best reflects the anticipated outcome of the students' performance on the test after the implementation of the workshops on word formation?

During a field trip in London, a group of students from a British Literature and History course visited the Globe Theatre, famously associated with William Shakespeare's plays.

How do these affixes contribute to the poem's imagery and themes?
