which one of the following words illustrates the addition of a vowel suffix?

Question

a . cropped
b. careful
c. enjoyment
d. tenderness


i think its a

Answer 1

What does this mean? "the addition of a vowel suffix"

"a" is the only word that is still pronounced with one syllable after a suffix has been added. That is, "crop" and "cropped" are both pronounced with one syllable.

"b" is the only base word that ends in a vowel before adding a suffix.

"c" and "d" are the base words that end in consonants before suffixes are added — well, unless "y" is considered a vowel here, which I doubt!

So … what does "the addition of a vowel suffix" mean?

Answer 2

Or … do you mean the suffix starts with a vowel instead of a consonant?

ed
ful
ment
ness

If that's what you mean, then "a" is correct.
