Hey there !

.

Your answer is A. receipt...

.

Here is why!

.

REMEMBER

If the root word ends in “e” and you add a suffix that begins with a vowel (such as -ing, -ed, -er, -able, or -y), DROP the e.

If suffix begins with a consonant (such as -fully, -s, or -ment), KEEP the e.

.

Example:

Whineing = Whining

Skateing = Skating

Loveing = Loving

.

Therefor, "WHINEING" would not be the answer.

.

"Pumpping" There is no need to double the "p" unless it is two words put together. In this case it is NOT, the correct version would be: "Pumping"

"Friend" Remember the "I before E" rule? Well heres where that comes in ! It basically speaks or itself. The correct spelling would be "Friend" Once again... your correct answer would be:

.

A. RECEIPT
