Explanation:
1.
Prefix: A prefix is added before the base word to modify its meaning. Examples include "dis-", "un-", and "re-".
2.
Base Word: This is the core part of the word that carries the primary meaning.
3.
Suffix: A suffix is added after the base word to change its grammatical function or meaning. Examples include "-ed" and "-er".
By carefully analyzing each word, we can determine which parts correspond to the prefix, base word, and suffix. This exercise helps reinforce understanding of how words are constructed using affixes.
