Thank you. Can you correct the wrong formation of words, please? I'm trying to draw a diagram to represent the internal structure of those words?

This is what I see:
a) Discussed: Discuss( v) + -ed( af) ?discussed( adj/v)
b) Inflexible: Flexible(adj)+ -in(af) ? inflexible (adj)
d) Indefinitely: define (v) + -ite (adj) = definite(adj) +in- (af) ? indefinite(v) + -ly(af) ? indefinitely(adv)
f) Imbalances: balance(n)? balance(v)+in-(af)? imbalance + -s (af) = imbalances
