Which of the following words is formed through affixation?

AReader

BBlog

CRadar

Answer:

A. Reader

Read Explanation:

The word "READER" is formed through affixation, as it is created by adding the suffix "-er" to the base word "read" to form a new word with a different meaning (a person who reads). 

  • Affixation:

    The process of adding a prefix or suffix to a base word to create a new word. 

  • Suffix:

    "-er" in this case acts as a suffix, attached to the end of "read" to indicate someone who performs the action.
