Final answer:
The word 'un-read-a-ble' from the options split into syllables corresponds with its morphemes: 'un-' (not), 'read' (base word), and '-able' (capable of being). Hence, it is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is about identifying which word has syllable breaks that correspond exactly with divisions between morphemes. A morpheme is the smallest unit of meaning in a language. In this case, the answer is b) un - read - a - ble.
This word is composed of three distinct morphemes: the prefix 'un-', which means 'not'; the base word 'read'; and the suffix '-able', which means 'capable of being'. Each morpheme can stand on its own as a unit of meaning, and the syllable breaks are aligned with these units.
