Which linguistic unit cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts?

  1. Phoneme

  2. Morpheme

  3. Syllable

  4. Onset

The correct answer is: Morpheme

A morpheme is the smallest unit of language that carries meaning and cannot be divided into smaller meaningful parts. In contrast, phonemes are the smallest units of sound that can change the meaning of a word, syllables are units of sound organized around a vowel sound, and onsets are the initial consonant or consonant cluster in a syllable that precedes the vowel. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
