【正确答案】：
BLENDING IS THE FORMATION OF NEW WORDS BY COMBINING PARTS OF TWO WORDS OR A WORD PLUS A PART OF ANOTHER WORD, AS IS SHOWN BY "MOTEL" AND "MEDICARE". "MOTEL" IS A COMBINATION OF "MOTOR"+"HOTEL" AND "MEDICARE" A COMBINATION OF "MEDICAL"+"CARE".
CLIPPING IS ANOTHER WAY OF MAKING A WORD WHICH IS TO SHORTEN A LONGER WORD BY CUTTING A PART OFF THE ORIGINAL AND USING WHAT REMAINS INSTEAD, AS IS SHOWN BY "QUAKE" AND "FLU". "QUAKE" IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF "EARTHQUAKE" AND "FLU" IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF "INFLUENZA".
【题目解析】：拼缀法是构成新单词的一种方式，它将两个单词或一个单词的一部分和另一个单词的一部分结合起来，如：motel和medicare。"motel"是"motor"+"hotel"的结合，而"medicare"，则是"medical"+"care"的结合。截短法是另一种构成新单词的方法，它通过截掉单词原始的部分，从而使用剩下的部分，通常用来缩短一个较长的单词，如quack和flu。quake是earthquake的简称，flu是influenza的简称。
