Question

If the word ends in silent e , drop the e and add the suffix, unless the final e is needed to preserve the sound of the preceding consonant (as in vengeance ).Type the word that both ends in the suffix -ence and fits the spelling rule above.

Answer 1

Answer:

Condolence is the word that satisfies the given rule.

Explanation:

The given rule says that identify a word which ends with '-e', then remove 'e' and add the suffix 'ence' to the word, unless final 'e' is needed so that preceding consonant's sound is preserved.

'Condole' is the word that ends with 'e' and 'e' is silent here. If we drop 'e' and add suffix 'ence', it becomes condolence. Thus, this word satisfies the given rule.

There are other words also like vengeance, occurrence that end with '-ence' but they do not satisfy the given spelling rule.
