Answer 2
Answer:

The correct answer is Group II. "When the root is a full word except for a final "e", the forms usually are spelled with -able".

Explanation:

In language, a root word refers to the basic unit of a word that cannot be reduced to a smaller unit. Because of this, new words can be formed by adding prefixes or suffixes which are letters or syllables placed before or after root words. However, in most cases, the use of suffixes and prefixes follow strict grammatical rules that work as a guide to add a prefix or suffix depending on the root word. This is the case of the suffix "-able" that means capable of and which is added to root words according to different rules described in the question which classifies root words according to eight different groups and describes in which way should the suffix "-able" added according to the features of the root word.

For the word "desire" which means  the action of wishing something, the rule that applies to this word is the one described in Group III or "When the root is a full word except for a final "e", the forms usually are spelled with -able" considering the word desire is a full word that cannot be reduced to shorter units and it also ends in "-e", therefore the suffix is added by omitting the "-e" which means the word becomes "desirable" and means  something attractive or capable of being desired. Thus, the rule that applies to the word "desire" is Group II.

b. The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
c. The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also is a divider between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
d. The Delaware River is a divider between Pennsylvania and New Jersey while also bordering Philadelphia

Answers

Answer: B) The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetiton of grammatical structures in a sentence or paragraph. In the given sentence we can see an example of a faulty parallelism because the grammatical structures "is a border" and "divides" aren't the same, they should both be in the same form, for this reason the correct answer is option B: The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey, they are both in present form.

The answer is 'b' The Delaware River not only borders Philadelphia but also divides Pennsylvania and New Jersey

Which word would appear between the guide words bone and bow?A) bomb
B) boil
C) book
D) boy

Answers

The correct answer is C. Book

Explanation:

A guide word is a word that is at placed the top of the page in a dictionary or similar document containing alphabetically organized words that show the first or the last word in a page which facilitates the process of looking for a word in documents such as dictionaries or glossaries. This means if the guide words are bone and bow the page of the dictionary, glossary or reference document will contain words that are between "bone" and "bow" in terms of alphabetical organization. Including words such as book, boot, boost, born or boss. Thus, from the options the only word that would appear between the guide words bone and bow is book as these words are the first word and the last word that appear in a list of words alphabetically organized and the word "book" is after "bone", but before "boss" in terms of alphabetically order which means "book" will appear between these two words in a dictionary or glossary.

That would be c) BOOK
