Answer 1

This question is about identifying double consonants and using them in puns.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is English.

In this question, the student is asked to circle the double consonants and indicate whether they represent one unit of sound or two units of sound. Then, the student is asked to use the words provided to complete Tom Swiftie puns.

For example, in the word 'access', the double consonants are 'ss'. Since 'ss' represents one unit of sound, the student would write 7 after the word 'access'.

Using this information, the student can then complete the puns by incorporating the words and their corresponding double consonants.
