The word older contains the “-er” inflection typically used to refer to the comparative degree. The other options contain words in which the bound morpheme is used to create new words. In this case, the morpheme is known as derivational morpheme</p><p>10</p><p>Marcar para revisão</p><p>Read the text below:</p><p>This word formation process comprises the use of two or more base forms to generate a new word.</p><p>The text above refers to a specific type of word formation process available in English.

A alternativa correta é a letra E. Confira o gabarito comentado!</p><p>Gabarito Comentado</p><p>Compounding combines more than one base form to create new words. Conversion, on the other hand, refers to derivation without affixation and affixation is the process of creating new words via derivational morphemes. Affixes placed before stems are classified as prefixes and the ones used after stems are called suffixes. Consequently, the operation of inserting a prefix in a base word is called prefixation and the use of a suffix in a base word is called suffixation</p>
