In the word hammering, why is the final consonant not doubled before the suffix

English

3 0
In the word hammering the reason that the
final consonant is not doubled before adding
the suffix is because the suffix begins with a
vowel. The rule says that you double the final
consonant before y or before a suffix
beginning with a vowel in a word of one
syllable that ends in a single consonant
preceded by a single vowel.

What's the correct answer? ​
OleMash [197]

Answer:

C. overly simple and unrelated to the issue

Explanation:

India was under the British government for many years, but after the Salt Act that prohibited collecting and selling salt, people wanted to stand up to the monopoly.

Gandhi thought of the idea of simple and nonviolent civil disobedience – he and his followers would march every day to the Arabian sea to collect salt and go against the law. <u>While Nehru admired Gandhi, he and many people thought this was a simple act that is too weak for the resistance. </u>

In the end, however, people joined in all across India. and changes were made.

What figurative language is used in the lady or the tiger
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Figurative language is any kind of language or figure of speech that does not employ the literal meaning. Certainly, author Frank R. Stockton uses figurative language in his narrative.

Examples of figurative language are in italics:

In the exposition, Stockton employs exaggeration and irony in his description of the kingdom and the semi-barbaric king, a man of "exuberant fancy and of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts."

The king's "exuberant fancy" is a figure of speech for his ideas about how to punish those who commit crimes. His authority is only "irresistible" because he is king and he cruelly enforces his rules. He has an "exuberant fancy" that he exercises: his public arena in which there are exhibitions of man against beast. These exhibitions are used as part of his impartial and incorruptible chance." This "chance" involves the choice that the accused makes between one door of the arena or another. One of the doors holds a deadly lion and the other one holds a maiden that the accused marries (whether he is already married or not).

Clearly, the use of figurative language in the story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" lends a greater impact upon the characterization of the "semi-barbaric" king and princess, as well as having an interesting influence upon the interpretation of the story.
