A syntactic word is one formed from separate morphemes, or root words (e.g. blueberry which incorporates the adjective blue). There may not be any one-word syntactic adverbs, but there are many adverbial phrases which contain no adverbs.

How can a word be a morphemic noun and a syntactic adverb in the same sentence?

Words can have multiple meanings, even morphemic nouns such as quiet: it can be a noun, an adjective, or by adding -LY can be an adverb. Words such as fast can be homonym nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. There may be no one-word syntactic adverbs, but adverbial phrases can contain non-adverbs and still function syntactically as adverbials. To use an informal idiom "on the quiet" (meaning secretly), a sentence could be "In the quiet of the night, her husband had left to meet his lover on the quiet."

Explain why derivational prefixes are classified on the basis of meaning whilederivational suffixes are classified on the basis of grammar?

Most if not all derivational prefixes carry meaning but do not change the syntactic category of the word whereas derivational suffixes usually if not always do change the word's syntactic category but carry little or no meaning beyond marking this change. For example, pre- usually means "before"; re- usually means "again". On the other hand, ly usually changes an adjective to an adverb; al usually changes a noun to an adverb.
