What is a suffix?

• A suffix is a group of letters that we place at the end of a word in order to change its meaning, creating a new word.

• Some words will not change their spelling at all when a suffix is added. Other words will follow certain spelling rules.

• We can notice that most of the words in the list given in the question either don't change their spelling, or change it in a way that does not affect pronunciation.

• For example, "ally" becomes "alliance", but the sound represented by "y" and "i" is the same. We also drop the -e in "grieve" to form "grievance," but it was silent in the original word.

• The only word that has a change in spelling to reflect a change in pronunciation is "remembrance." We drop the -e that comes before the -r in "remember" to show that the pronunciation is different when we add the suffix -ance.

With the information above in mind, we can select "remembrance" as the correct option.
