Answer 2

No, i just need help.

Answer 3

Well, a morpheme is a part of a word that has meaning but may or may not be able to stand on its own.

Answer 4

so B. replace would be the answer?

Answer 5

A root word is a word that can stand on its own and have meaning. So no prefix or suffix.

Answer 6

@e.mccormick prefix and affix are morpheme or not...?

Answer 7

@katiieboo8899 well, have you removed all prefixes and suffixes?

@paki A prefix is an affix. It is the affix before a word. You meant suffix. And yes, they are both morphemes. For example, if I say bird and birds, the first is a single morpheme that is a root word and has meaning alone but the second is two morphemes, bird and s, of which the second has meaning but can not stand alone.

Answer 8
