Step 3: Examples from the lesson include 'unnecessary' (not necessary) and 'unhappy' (not happy). Step 4: Other prefixes like 'inter-' mean 'between', 'co-' means 'together', and 'hyper-' means 'excessive', so they don't indicate negation or opposition.

won't

Step 1: Remember that contractions combine two words with an apostrophe replacing missing letters. Step 2: 'Will not' has an irregular contraction that doesn't follow the usual pattern.

Step 4: 'Wouldn't' is the contraction for 'would not', not 'will not', making it incorrect for this question.
