The student's task is to write down the spelling words that contain silent letters from a given list. Words with silent 'b' include 'thumbs', 'plumber', 'doubtful', 'lambs', and 'combs'. Words with silent 'h', 'w', and 'k' include 'honest', 'knew', 'kneel', 'wrench', 'writhe', 'wrestle', and 'knives', 'knock', 'knight' respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question asks for the identification of spelling words that include a silent letter. Specifically, the question lists a series of words and asks to identify which ones contain silent b, h, w, and k.
