The final e is dropped from the base word when we spell the word believable because the suffix begins with a vowel. The suffix used in the word believable is -able. This is one of the vowel suffixes. The general rule is, in order to add a vowel suffix to a word ending in silent e, the final e should be removed then connect the vowel suffix.

What character trait does Penelope demonstrate when she calls for the suitors to hold a contest? What other character has a simi
Lesechka [4]

Intelligence or Cleverness. Odysseus.

In the epic, Oysseus's intelligence or cleveness is highly valued. The goddess, Athena, favors Odysseus because of his intelligence. Penelope demonstrates this trait when she first tells the suitors that she will choose a husband after she has woven a tapestry. She unravels it at night so it is never complete. When they discover her trickery, they demand she choose a husband. To keep them at bay longer, she devises the contest. It is an incredibly difficult feat to shoot an arrow through the ax handles, but it is an acceptable contest because it has been previously completed, by Odysseus.
