Answer:

It has to do with voicing assimilation (voiced sounds vs, unvoiced sounds at the end of the word stem.) before the suffix is added.

Explanation:

Ex....

'P' is a voiced consonant (with your hand in front of your mouth, you feel a puff of air on your hand), so it's phonologically easier (more natural) to say a          '-t' sound immediately afterward.

'N,' in contrast has no puff of air, so it's a voiceless sound.

What did Prospero want Miranda to think about her uncle Antonio in The Tempest.
disa [49]

Prospero tells Miranda, his daughter, as he is creating a storm that tosses a ship, that he used to be the duke of Milan and consequently Miranda was a princess. Indeed it is Prospero who creates the storm. The fact that they have been on an island for a long time lacking interaction with other people has made Miranda lack a judgment of her own. Propspero tells that he was victim of usurpation of his kingdom from Antonio, his brother. He is teaching his daughter that not all people are kind on the world and that Antonio was not a noble person.

Oxana [17]

Libel applies to defamation of an individual's reputation through the written word. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is written words?</h3>

Well, it's exactly that! It's written. You read it, right? You may not catch nearly as much of the character's voice within the text because it's only text. Does that make sense? I hope it does. Let's move on.

In certain cases, Words can appeal enough to the senses to create the so-called "illusion" or "feel" or whatever you'd like to call it, of the character(s) personality, feelings, actions, and more.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
