<span>In the word hammering the reason that the final consonant is not doubled before adding the suffix is because the suffix begins with a vowel. The rule says that you double the final consonant before y or before a suffix beginning with a vowel in a word of one syllable that ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel.

Answer: B) because the suffix begins with a vowel

Answer:

A: because the stress is on the first syllable of the base word hammer

Explanation:

 Before adding the suffix in the word hammering the final consonant is not doubled because there is a rule that determines that root words with more than one syllable should <em>not</em><em>  have a doubled consonant</em> <em>if its last syllable is not stressed.  </em>This is the case of the word <u>ham</u>mer. Other examples are: happening, listening etc.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

As a result, Elisa devotes all of her energy to maintaining her house and garden. The pride she takes in her housekeeping is both exaggerated and melancholy. Although she rightly brags about her green thumb, Elisa’s connection to nature seems forced and not something that comes as naturally as she claims.
