allery"Notebook" is a compound word because it joins:
AA prefix and root
BTwo whole words
CA root and suffix
DTwo sentences
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Two whole words
1. A compound joins two or more words to make a longer word.
2. "Note" and "book" are both words in their own right.
3. A prefix, a suffix or sentences are not what is joined.
**Why not the others:** A prefix plus root and a root plus suffix are affixed words, not compounds, and two sentences are not joined to make a word.
