Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Spelling questions often target words with double consonants because they are frequently confused in daily writing.
"Accommodation" is a classic example of a word that follows a "Double-Double" rule.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
The word comes from the root "accommodate."
To spell it correctly, you must remember that it requires two sets of double letters.
1. Breaking down the spelling:
- Prefix: Ac-
- Root part 1: com-
- Root part 2: mod-
- Suffix: -ation
When combined, the 'c' from the prefix and the 'c' from the root merge to form "cc".
Similarly, the 'm' from the first part of the root and the 'm' from the second part merge to form "mm".
2. Verifying the Options:
- (A) Accomodation: Missing one 'm'. (Incorrect)
- (B) Acommodation: Missing one 'c'. (Incorrect)
- (C) Accommodation: Has two 'c's and two 'm's. (Correct)
- (D) Accommmodation: Has three 'm's. There is no reason for a triple consonant in this English word. (Incorrect)
Memory Trick:
Think of an accommodation as a large hotel. A large hotel needs lots of "C"apacity and lots of "M"embers. Thus, it has two C's and two M's.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct spelling is "Accommodation." Therefore, Option (C) is the right choice.
