Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Count total letters

The word "ACCOMMODATION" has 13 letters.

Step2: Count number of 'A's

There are 2 'A's. So the probability of selecting an 'A' is $\frac{2}{13}$.

Step3: Count number of each letter in options

  • A) There is 1 'D', probability of selecting a 'D' is $\frac{1}{13}$.
  • B) There are 2 'O's, probability of selecting an 'O' is $\frac{2}{13}$.
  • C) There are 2 'C's, probability of selecting a 'C' is $\frac{2}{13}$.
  • D) There is 1 'T', probability of selecting a 'T' is $\frac{1}{13}$.
  • E) There are 2 'M's, probability of selecting an 'M' is $\frac{2}{13}$.

Answer:

B. selecting an O, C. selecting a C, E. selecting an M
