Answer 1

In the word "unethical," the un-, ethic, and -al are all examples of morphemes.

Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language, and they can be roots, prefixes, or suffixes. In this case:

• "un-" is a prefix (morpheme)
• "ethic" is a root (morpheme)
• "-al" is a suffix (morpheme)

So, the correct answer is morphemes.
