If the word ends in silent e, drop the e and add the suffix, unless the final e is needed to preserve the sound of the preceding consonant (as in vengeance).

Type the word that both ends in the suffix -ence and fits the spelling rule above.

Answer:

Condolence

Step-by-step explanation:

Condolence ends with an e. To add the suffix -ence, it must drop the e before doing so.

(I'll edit this if it's incorrect, for now I'm guessing, but I haven't turned in my assignment yet ;o)
