Hint:

Compounding, reduplication, inflection, and derivation are key linguistic processes used in word formation and modification.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identifying the Linguistic Features.
Each term in Rem I is associated with a type of word formation or linguistic feature. We need to match them with the correct function in Rem II.
Step 2: Matching Rem I and Rem II.
- A. ko-lok corresponds to I. compounding, as "ko-lok" is a compound word form.
- B. tok-rok corresponds to IV. reduplication, as "tok-rok" involves repeating a syllable or root.
- C. kisa-misa corresponds to III. inflection, as "kisa-misa" involves a form of word alteration.
- D. tokha-rung corresponds to II. derivation, as it indicates a change in meaning or grammatical category.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct matching is: A - I, B - IV, C - III, D - II. The correct answer is option (1).
