Question

Rule A: If a word ends in e and the suffix begins with a vowel, usually the e is dropped before the suffix is added.

Rule B: When a word needs a vowel to help its pronunciation, the e is retained when adding a suffix.
Rule C: When a word needs a vowel to keep its meaning, the final e is retained.
Rule D: The final e of the word is usually retained if the suffix begins with a consonant.

Form a new word, following the rules given above.

arrange + -ment =

Type the letter of the rule being followed, A, B, C, or D.

Rule:

Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule A. doesn't apply, because the e is not dropped.

Rule C. doesn't either, because there is no word spelled arrang

Rule D. could apply, but B makes more sense, because like I said in rule C, if it was spelled arrang, it would not be pronounced a-rain-j
