Which of the following words cannot undergo consonant doubling? A. model B. transmit C. prefer D. recurReset Selection
Question
Solution
The word that cannot undergo consonant doubling is "transmit".
Here's why:
Consonant doubling usually happens when a one-syllable word, or a word with stress on the last syllable, ends in one vowel followed by one consonant. When adding a suffix that begins with a vowel, the final consonant is often doubled to keep the same pronunciation.
A. "Model" can become "modelled" or "modelling". B. "Transmit" does not double the consonant when adding a suffix, it becomes "transmitted" or "transmitting". C. "Prefer" can become "preferred" or "preferring". D. "Recur" can become "recurred" or "recurring".
So, the answer is B. "Transmit".
