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.

Wednesday

Explanation:

  1. (Day before Yesterday)
  2. (Yesterday)
  3. (Today)
  4. (Tomorrow)
  5. (Day after tomorrow)

Day after Tomorrow = Sunday (given).

So, Tomorrow = Saturday

Today = Friday

Thus, Yesterday = Thursday.  

Hence, Day before yesterday = Wednesday.

So the answer is Wednesday.

Rewrite the following sentence to use an original absolute phrase. All work must be your own. Use proper spelling and grammar.
posledela

Answer: The way to write the sentence: "The store was freezin" as an absolute frase would be: The store freezing, we need to leave it quickly. Or  We need to leave quickly, the store freezing.

An absolute phrase consists on a phrase that modifies a noun in a sentence, but it is not connected to the sentence by a conjunction. It is separated with a comma only, and it could be removed from the sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence.  An absolute phrase tends to contain a participial.
