Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand what a morpheme is. A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. It can be a whole word or a meaningful part of a word, such as a prefix, suffix, or root.
Step 2: Break down the word 'teleprompter' into its meaningful parts. Identify any prefixes, roots, or suffixes that carry meaning.
Step 3: Recognize that 'tele-' is a prefix meaning 'distance' or 'far,' 'prompt' is the root word meaning to encourage or cue, and '-er' is a suffix indicating a person who performs an action.
Step 4: Count each of these meaningful units as one morpheme. So, 'tele-' counts as one, 'prompt' as another, and '-er' as the third.
Step 5: Conclude that the word 'teleprompter' contains three morphemes based on the identified prefix, root, and suffix.
