Answer: Because the end of the word occur is <u>consonant</u> + <u>vowel</u> + <u>consonant</u>.

Explanation:

When a word ends in <em>consonant</em> + <em>vowel</em> + <em>consonant</em>, we double the last consonant before adding a suffix.

Answer:

because the stress is on the second syllable of the base word ending in consonant + vowel + consonant

Explanation:

If a multiple-syllable word ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel and the accent is on the last syllable of the root word, double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel.

e.g.  refer – referred, occur – occurrence, commit – committal, rebel  –  rebellion.

How does the use of an informal writing style best help
maxonik [38]

<u>It helps the writers visualize the inside of a black hole. </u>

<em>The other options can described bluntly and scientifically with just names and numbers. </em>

If the writer were to use more formal writing to describe things so abstract like a black hole, it would be hard for the common reader to understand.

____________________________

for example,

The black hole looks like a giant vacuum of nothingness (informal)

The black hole is like a mass whose Schwarzchild radius is outside of itself (formal)

Which is easier to understand? Most likely the first one because of the use of informal language and writing.

Hope I helped!
