The two correct answers about an affix are:

  1. It can come before or after a base word.
  2. It sometimes changes a base word’s part of speech.

These statements accurately reflect the nature of affixes, which can be prefixes (coming before) or suffixes (coming after) and can alter the meaning or part of speech of the base word.
