Question

Find the correctly spelt word:

• A. Occurence
• B. Occurrence
• C. Ocurence
• D. Occurrance

Hint:

Occurrence has double 'c' and double 'r'.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Concept
Spelling rules for doubling consonants.

Step 2: Analysis
The word "occur" ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern with the stress on the last syllable. When adding a suffix starting with a vowel, the final 'r' is doubled. It also uses "ence" not "ance."

Step 3: Conclusion
"Occurrence" with double 'c', double 'r', and 'ence' is correct. Final Answer: (2)
