When do you drop the final –e from a root word?

a.) when the suffix begins with a consonant

b.) when you have to double the final consonant

c.) when you are adding a –y

d.) when you are adding a suffix that begins with a vowel

The correct answer is letter D):when you are adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.

We generally drop the final "e" from a root word as long as the suffix starts with a vowel. For instance, when we add "-ing" , as in write/writing or when we add "-er" as in nice/nicer.

Although there are some exceptions to this rule , as for example the words that end in"-ce" before the suffix "-able" as in notice/noticeable, the general rule is the one mentioned before.

the answer is definitely d. sorry for a late response.
