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.

The option that correctly combines the two sentences is option B. The assignment was originally due on Tuesday; however, the instructor changed to due date to Thursday. We can easily combine the two sentences with the use of the punctuation mark semicolon. This is used to indicate that there are two independent clauses in one sentence.

Endings are added to _____.<br> prefixes<br> suffixes<br> roots
Crank

Endings are added to roots.

Roots, or also referred to as base words,  are the most basic parts of a word which provide the basic meaning of a word.  The root is a word that does not have a prefix in front of the word or a suffix at the end of the word. A root must have an affix, or another root, attached to it in order to make it a whole word.
