Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning**
The correct spelling is **Accommodate** — with **two C's and two M's**.
Think of it as: **AC-COM-MO-DATE**
This word comes from Latin *accommodare*, meaning "to make fit." The prefix *ad-* (meaning "to") combines with *com-* (meaning "with") and *modus* (meaning "measure"). When *ad-* meets a word starting with *c*, it doubles: **ac + com = accom**.
A memory trick: "This hotel has **two cots** and **two mattresses** to **accommodate** guests" — reminding you of the double C and double M.
**Why the wrong options tempt you**
- **A, B, D** all drop either one or both doubles. We often spell words phonetically, and since we don't emphasize both doubles when speaking, our brains trick us into writing just one. "Accomodate" *sounds* right, but English loves its double consonants in Latin-derived words.
**Quick takeaway**
Remember: **"Accommodate is generous — it has room for two C's AND two M's!"** Practice writing it three times right now, and you'll never forget.
