    In 'knight,' the letters 'k' and 'gh' are silent, so it is pronounced 'nite.'

  5. Which word is a homophone of 'flour'?

  6. What rule applies when adding '-ing' to a word ending in a silent 'e' (e.g., 'make')?

    Answer: Drop the 'e' before adding '-ing'

    When adding '-ing' to words ending in silent 'e,' you drop the 'e' — so 'make' becomes 'making.'
