Im thinking that it is coast
Answer:
because the stress is on the second syllable of the base word ending in consonant + vowel + consonant
Explanation:
If a multiple-syllable word ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel and the accent is on the last syllable of the root word, double the final consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel.
e.g. refer – referred, occur – occurrence, commit – committal, rebel – rebellion.
Even though I haven't read the story, based on textual clues in these sentences I would say the correct answer is <span>B. “The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds.”
The reason why is that you can't really have a watch lined with diamonds unless you've worked really hard to get it. This man has hustled his whole life and in the end, he has done well for himself in life, which is evident by his expensive watch. </span><span>
</span>
So A doesn’t really go with it so you can rule that out. The main character doesn’t get introduced can you can rule out D too. It’s between B and C. I honestly would go with C the author sets up the hook of the story.
The word intention means "a sense of purpose."
Intention is the aim or plan of doing something.
Hope this helps :)
