How does John Milton link the mirth of "L'Allegro" with melancholy of "IL pensoroso" in these two excerpts? In notes, with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetnes long drawn out,
With wanton heed, and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running;
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.
(from "L'Allegro")

To the full voic'd Quire below,
In Service high, and Anthems cleer,
As may with sweetnes, through mine ear,
Dissolve me into extasies,
And bring all Heav'n before mine eyes.
And may at last my weary age
Find out the peaceful hermitage,
(from "Il Penseroso")

What rule applies to this word?envy

B.Group II. When the root is a full word except for a final e, the forms usually are spelled with -able
C.Group III. The suffix -able always follows i.
D.Group IV. When the root has other forms built on the letter a, the -able form is used
E.Group V. When the root ends in hard c or hard g, -able is used.
F.Group VI. When the root is not a full word,-ible is used.
G.Group VII. When the word has an immediate -tion form, -ible is used.
H.Group VIII. When the root ends in ns, miss, or soft c or g, ible is used.

Answers

The given root word above is the word "envy" and the rule that applies to this word is option C. Group III. The suffix -able always follows i. With the word envy, the last letter "y" should be changed to "i" then add a vowel suffix. In Group III, as stated, we change the "y" to "i" then add -able, so the word becomes "enviable" making it an adjective. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Rule C - Group III: The suffix “-able” always follows “i”.

Explanation

When a word ends in “y”, such as “envy”, the “y” becomes an “i” when adding the suffix“-able” to make new adjectives. In this case, envy becomes enviable. There are other examples which exemplify this rule: justify - justifiable, or rely - reliable.
