Question
Vowel-C-Deletion rule does not apply to the word ……………………………
A. spy.
B. try.
C. rely.
D. defy.
Solution
The Vowel-C-Deletion rule applies to words where a vowel is followed by a single consonant at the end of the word, and that consonant is deleted when adding a suffix.
A. "Spy" becomes "spying" or "spied", so the rule applies. B. "Try" becomes "trying" or "tried", so the rule applies. C. "Rely" becomes "relying" or "relied", so the rule applies. D. "Defy" becomes "defying" or "defied", so the rule does not apply.
So, the Vowel-C-Deletion rule does not apply to the word "defy".
