Question

Which morphological structure consists of a single morpheme?

• A. Free morpheme
• B. Bound morpheme
• C. Compound word
• D. Complex word

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Free morpheme

• A free morpheme is a morphological structure that consists of a single morpheme, or simple word. For example, the words "house", "work", "high", "chair", and "wrap" are all free morphemes. 

• A morpheme is the smallest unit of language that carries meaning. 

• A word that is made up of only one morpheme is called a simple word or monomorphemic word. 

• Words that have more than one morpheme are called complex words or polymorphemic words. 

• A bound morpheme is a morpheme that must be attached to another morpheme to have meaning.
