Why should you sometimes truncate a word by leaving out a letter or group of letters (e.g., creat rather than create)?

English

The correct answer is D. Use it to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

Explanation:

In internet search, the word truncation, also called stemming refers to a search technique in which only the section of a term is written, for example, instead of including the term "create" you only include the first letters of it or the root word which is "creat" or instead of including the term "spacecraft" you include only "space". This is mainly used to broaden the results in a search, because by including only part of a term results will include all possible forms or ending of the term, this means in the case of "creat" results would include the words creation, creative, creat, creature, etc and in the case of "space" this would include results related to space, spacer, spaceship and not only spacecraft. Therefore, the reason for using truncation is mainly to broaden a search to include different forms of the truncated word.

The the beginning of the Civil War, President Lincoln ordered the U.S. Navy to place a blockade along almost 3,500 miles of Atlantic Coastline. This was so the Union could stop them from importing products in and from exporting their own good out of the country. Though many smaller Confederate shops were able to get out of the ports, they only had a little bit of goods, and the South needed much more to support their economy.
