This question tests spelling high-frequency words and adding suffixes (CCSS.L.3.2.e). This is the base word 'carry' with the suffix '-ed' added. For high-frequency words: Some common words don't follow regular phonics rules and must be memorized (like because, through, could, should). For suffixes: Follow these rules: (1) Drop silent e before vowel suffix (make→making). (2) Double final consonant after short vowel (run→running). (3) Change y to i before all suffixes except -ing (cry→cried but crying). (4) Otherwise just add suffix (walk→walking). For 'carried' we apply the rule that we change y to i before -ed. Choice B is correct because it correctly changes y to i before -ed. The spelling 'carried' follows the change-y rule. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't change y to i. This error happens when students forget the rule. To help students: For high-frequency words create word lists and practice regularly - these must be memorized. For suffixes teach the three main rules: (1) Drop e rule: Drop silent e before vowel suffixes (make→making bake→baked large→larger). (2) Double rule: After short vowel + one consonant, double it (run→running big→bigger). (3) Y rule: Change y to i before any suffix except -ing (cry→cried→cries→crying / happy→happier→happiest→happiness). Memory trick: Ask three questions: (a) Does it end in e? Drop before vowel suffix. (b) Short vowel + one consonant? Double it. (c) Consonant + y? Change to i (except before -ing). Watch for: spelling phonetically / forgetting to drop e / not doubling when should / changing y before -ing.
