Question

In the spelling lesson, several words contain a prefix that ends with the same letter that the root begins with. Select the three words that do not use a hyphen between the double letters?

semiannual
transmission
interrupt
nonnuclear
biennial
preeminent

Answer 1

The three words that do not use a hyphen between the double letters are:

1. **nonnuclear**
2. **preeminent**
3. **semiannual**

The other words (transmission and interrupt) do not have double letters created by a prefix and root combination, so they are not applicable.
