In the poem "The Hollow Men,! by T. S. Eliot, the men gather on the banks of a "tumid" river:
"In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river"
The men are close to one another without saying a word - they are unable to seek God's redemption. As a result, their souls are stranded betweel hell and heaven.
Dear Mayor Levine,
We send our children to school so that they can learn theskills that they need to prepare them for the challenges of life. In order to make this possible, we want themto learn in an environment that is safe and secure. We truly believe that thisencourages them to learn and take part in school activities.
Lately, however, we are now troubled by reports that theremany unruly students who cause trouble for the school and other students aswell. What is more alarming is that manyof them are carrying concealed weapons and we are afraid that our children’slives will be at risk.
We urgently requestthat your office to do something about this problem. We are worried about thesafety and welfare of our children is now at risk because of these recentdevelopments. We will be happy to workwith you in creating a safe in environment for our children to learn in school.

B. when the base word ends with two vowels and a consonant
C. when the base word ends with two consonants
D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel
Answer:
D. when the base word ends with consonant + vowel + consonant and the suffix begins with a vowel
Explanation:
If you study English, you have heard of words ending in "consonant + vowel + consonant" (or CVC). These endings have a simple half rule: when the suffix begins with a vowel, the last consonant of the base word must be duplicated. Example: The base word is "stop" and the word "ed", when you add the base word with the suffix, the last letter "p" of the base word must be duplicated, becoming "stopped".
b. water is to lake.
c. waves is to sea.
