        *the root is the part of the word that connot be broken down into smaller parts (root word civil with prefix un- and suffix -ed added)

c)  terrorize                      4)  derivational suffix

          * a derivational suffix changes the meaning of the root word ( in this case -ize changes the noun terror into a verb terrorize)

    

d)  lukewarm                     2)  bound root

     * a bound root is a root that has no meaning in isolation lukewarm have meaning together that differs from luke- and -warm

e)  impossible                   6)  derivational prefix

     *this type of derivation preceeding the adjective possible (could happen) changes it to the opposite meaning - impossible (could not happen).
