Answer 2

The suffix which would be added to the verb hate to convert it into a noun is:

a. -er

when a suffix changes a noun into a verb, it's said to change the function of the word.

a. function

Step-by-step explanation:

A suffix is a small unit of a word which is added at the end of the word to alter the function of the word. After the addition of a suffix, a new word is formed. The suffix -er is added in the word 'hate' to change it to a noun. The word 'hate' is a verb but after the addition of the suffix '-er' it becomes 'hater' which is a noun.
