What rule applies to this word?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer is "Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able"

Explanation:

The passage presented in the question explains the basic rules for adding the suffix "-able" to a root word or basic unit that forms words, for doing this, there are eight different rules that define the correct way to add this suffix mainly based on the features of a word. In the case of the word "desire" this word is a root by itself which means it cannot be reduced to smaller particles and this word ends in "-e", also the correct form of adding the suffix "-able" is in the form "desirable" which means the final "e-" is omitted and the suffix is added. Therefore, this word belongs to the rule "Group II", because as desire words of this group are full words excerpt by the "-e" that need to be omitted to add the prefix.

Answer: The answer is , For spring break my family will visit Washington D,C, Which is the capitol of the united states.

<h3>Explanation: A dependent clause it a clause that cannot stand on its own as a sentence because it only provides extra information to a sentence. Therefor, B would be your answer because The sentence provides the extra information which it that Washington D.C is the capitol of the United States.

Unclear question. I infered you are referring to the grammatical structure/usage of some expressions in the sentence.

Answer:

It is an Idiomatic expression.

Explanation:

The expression "following the crowds" is idiomatic, meaning It should be understood figuratively.

In a sense, as used in this context it implies there's a price for doing whatever others do pertaining to how long they cook. So one must maintain his own cooking time schedule not following the crowd.

The feminist theme that is most supported by the above excerpt is that women frequently go unheard in male-dominated societies. This can be seen from the statement in the passage which states that '....... I don't know as what his wife wanted made much difference to John'. This statement means that John's wife opinion may make no difference whatsoever in the situation been discussed.
