Question

In which word does the base word spelling not change when the suffix is added? (1 point)
• foggy
• baker
• playful
• laziness

Answer 1

The word where the base word spelling does not change when the suffix is added is **baker**. The base word "bake" retains its spelling when the suffix "-er" is added.

In contrast:
- "foggy" changes from "fog" to "foggy."
- "playful" changes from "play" to "playful."
- "laziness" changes from "lazy" to "laziness."
