b. False

Answer :

The statement above is TRUE. The answer is option A. When the base word ends with e, the silent e is dropped before adding a suffix if the suffix starts with a vowel. Vowel suffixes include -ance, -er, -ing, -able/-ible, -ed, -ation, and -est. For example, the word "make". When connected with the suffix -ing, the silent e is dropped and it becomes "making".
