Question

Which rule helps to indicate the spelling of the word “reoccur” when changing it to the word reoccurring.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. When adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to a root word that ends with a consonant, double the consonant before adding the suffix.

Explanation:

You can see the suffix begins with a vowel (ing). Also the last letter of the of the root word is the letter you double in order to get "Reoccurring."

Answer 2

When adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to a root word that ends with a consonant, double the consonant before adding the suffix. Reoccurring is the exception to spelling rules. To change the word reoccur to reoccurring, simply add the suffix -ring.
