Answer to Question 1

C

value of your building, which neither of us wants. The statement can be corrected by writing
Further economic crises will depreciate the value of your building, and we do not want that.

C
When the suffix ed is added to the word mix the final consonant is not doubled because the
word ends with an x. Knowing when to double a final consonant before adding an ending to
a word is a matter of distinguishing between vowel sounds.
