<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.

Ronch [10]

example of evidence can be things like blood samples knife a gun fingerprints.(In a case where the someone has been murdered)

an example of argument can be a topic like women are better than men or the internet internet is a good invention.

claim can be defined as the evidence that a speaker may use to clarify or to prove the point of his discussion for example a child who wants a mobile phone will try to give claims that everyone in his or her class as a mobile from phone and it is basic as far as academics is concerned.

reason can be described or explain to be the cause of a certain happening for example we can see that the teacher on duty came to school late because his other car rent out of gas.
