Answer 1

what about e

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

a. It always changes a base word’s part of speech.
d. It can come before or after a base word.

An affix is a morpheme that is added to a base word to modify its meaning or create a new word. While an affix can sometimes change a base word's part of speech, it is not always the case. Additionally, an affix can appear before or after a base word. Therefore, options a and d are the two correct answers.

a. It always changes a base word’s part of speech.
d. It can come before or after a base word.
e. It sometimes changes a base word’s part of speech.
