The ------------------- in an attempt to please the workers promised to provide for them an … as soon as…

Analyze the question: This is a spelling question. You need the option where both missing words are spelled correctly: the first is a group of people (committee) and the second is a place to live or stay (accommodation).

Explain the concept: Both words are commonly misspelled because of their double letters.

• Committee has double m, double t, and double e: c-o-m-m-i-t-t-e-e.
• Accommodation has double c and double m: a-c-c-o-m-m-o-d-a-t-i-o-n.

Check each option:

• A. Commitee / accommondation: "Commitee" is missing a double t. "Accommondation" has an extra n. Wrong.
• B. Comittee / acommodation: "Comittee" has only one m. "Acommodation" has only one c. Wrong.
• C. committe / accommodasion: "Committe" is missing the final e. "Accommodasion" ends in -sion instead of -tion. Wrong.
• D. committee / accommodation: Both words are spelled correctly. Correct.

Complete sentence: "The committee, in an attempt to please the workers, promised to provide for them accommodation as soon as possible."

Answer: D

Tip: Use these memory tricks to remember the spellings:

• Committee: it has double m, double t, and double e.
• Accommodation: it is big enough to fit two c's and two m's.
