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.

Select the sentence that correctly uses a comma with a transition.
Sholpan [36]

The answer is the third sentence: "Finally take care to put away all your supplies and clean your workstation, so you are ready for your shift in the morning." because the word 'so' is a conjuction.

how would they decide what is the normal height weight appearance intelligence and strength? From the story Harrison Bergeron By
Stella [2.4K]

The story “Harrison Bergeron” By Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. tells about the year 2081. During this period many amendments were made by the constitution to demolish inequality among the US citizens. The efforts were not made to empower and raise the standards of the handicapped. Instead methods were adopted to penalize people who were gifted with superior intellect, physical beauty or strength. The normal height, weight, appearance, intelligence and strength were decided considering the handicaps and the disabled people so as to equalize the society.


People with beautiful faces were asked to wear masks to hide themselves, intelligent people were forced to wear headsets that disturbed their brains and nerves with loud noises and annoying sounds. People with good physical body have to carry sacks of birdshots so as to weigh down. This was the way which the Americans adopted to maintain the equality among themselves.
