4. Revitalize = Re > Vital > ize
5. Lovelier = Love > ly > er
6. Disallow = Dis < Allow
7. Voter = Vote < er
8. Destabilize = De > stable > ize
9. Insanity - In > Sane > ity
10. Unlikely = Un > like > ly

Answer 2

The smallest unit of semantic or grammatical meaning, including words, bases, affixes, and inflections is referred as morpheme.

Therefore, when the following words are divided into their constituent morphemes it would be written as:

1. Dethrone = De-Throne

2. Irregularities = Ir-Regularity -es

3. Innings = Inning-s

4. Revitalize = Re-Vital-ize

5. Lovelier = Love-ly-er

6. Disallow = Dis-Allow

7. Voter = Vote-er

8. Destabilize = De-stable-ize

9. Insanity - In-Sane-ity

10. Unlikely = Un-like-ly
