Final answer:
The correct answer for the transformation question is to apply the given letter changes to the word to achieve the desired result, and for spelling, use the English spelling rule 'i before e, except after c'.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer involves manipulating letters of the alphabet according to specific instructions. Using the example 'change the first letter in the word to the letter that comes right after it in the alphabet, make the second letter in the word a , and change the to the twenty-first letter of the alphabet', if we start with the word 'bat', following the instructions results in:
- Changing 'b' to 'c' (the next letter in the alphabet)
- Changing the second letter to 'c'
- Changing 'a' to 'u' (the twenty-first letter of the alphabet)
The final transformed word is 'ccu'.
For the spelling transformation rules, the student needs to apply the classic English spelling rule 'i before e, except after c or when sounded like 'a' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh''. This guideline helps in transforming words accurately according to provided instructions.
