Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: spadivolo
Explanation:
Identify morphemes: moolokarn and moolowilko both contain "moolo", so "moolo" means "blue." From moolokarn = blue sky, "karn" means "sky."
From wilkospadi, split into "wilko" + "spadi." Using moolowilko = blue bicycle confirms "wilko" means "bicycle," so "spadi" means "race."
A word meaning "racecar" should therefore begin with "spadi" (race) and include the morpheme for "car." The choices beginning with "spadi" are "spadiwilko" and "spadivolo."
"spadiwilko" would be "race" + "bicycle" (not racecar). "spadivolo" is "race" + "volo", so "volo" corresponds to "car." Therefore "spadivolo" is the correct choice for "racecar."
