Explanation:

For the first part (morpheme matching):

1. For "life": The morpheme related to life is "bio" (as in biology, biography, etc.).
2. For "comparative; more": The morpheme "-er" is used for comparative (e.g., bigger, faster).
3. For "light": The morpheme "photo" (as in photography, photon, related to light).
4. For "no OR to go into": The morpheme "in-" (e.g., invisible - no visible; inside - to go into).
5. For "self": The morpheme "auto" (as in autobiography - self - biography; automobile - self - moving).
6. For "to save, keep, protect, or serve": The morpheme "serv" (as in serve, conservation - to keep, preserve).
7. For "empty": The morpheme "vac" (as in vacuum - empty space).
8. For "to hear": The morpheme "aud" (as in audition, auditory - related to hearing).
9. For "present tense; happening now": The morpheme "-ing" (e.g., running, talking - present tense, happening now).
10. For "comparative; the most": The morpheme "-est" (e.g., biggest, fastest - superlative, the most).
11. For "not": The morpheme "dis-" (e.g., disagree - not agree; disappear - not appear).
12. For "water": The morpheme "hydra" (as in hydrate - to add water; hydro - related to water).
13. For "to pull": The morpheme "tract" (as in attract - to pull towards; tractor - a machine to pull).
14. For "to go out, pull out, away": The morpheme "ex-" (as in exit - to go out; extract - to pull out).

For the second part (creating new words):

Example 1:

• Morphemes: "auto" + "bio"
• Word Sum: auto + bio = autobiography (a biography written by oneself)

Example 2:

• Morphemes: "ex" + "tract"
• Word Sum: ex + tract = extract (to pull out, as in extract juice from fruits)
