Accommodate

'Accommodate' is the correct spelling, with double 'c' and double 'm'.

Question 2

Which sentence uses the apostrophe correctly?

Accepted Answer

It's a beautiful morning in the office.

'It's' is the contraction of 'it is,' so option B is correct; 'its' without an apostrophe is the possessive form.

'Separate' is spelled with an 'a' in the middle: s-e-p-a-r-a-t-e.
