Question
The prefix –un in the word "unreliable" can be described as a --------- morpheme.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
"Un-" is a bound morpheme. More specifically, it is a derivational morpheme because it alters the core meaning of the root word, changing 'reliable' to its negative opposite.
Hint
Does it change the grammatical class of the word or just its meaning? It creates a new word with an opposite meaning.
