Answer 1

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

To clarify:

• "un-" is a prefix (an affix),
• "ethic" is the root or base word,
• "-al" is a suffix (another affix).

However, considering the context of your question, the best answer is morphemes because they all represent meaningful units of language.
