What do you understand by consonants?
Consonants are speech sounds that are articulated with partial or complete closure of the vocal tract. They are produced by obstructing the airflow in some way, either by fully closing the vocal tract or by creating a constriction that modifies the airflow. Consonants are one of the two main categories of sounds in the English language, the other being vowels.
What is indirect speech of how would you know?
Grammar pedant here:
Direct/reported speech: "How would you know?"
Indirect speech: He asked her how she would know
or
He asked her how she knew.
Word order is v important. It switches.
Direct speech with speech marks uses one tense which in indirect speech, shifts one tense back & lacks speech marks. We also drop the qustion mark.
NOT he asked her how she knows, or he asked her how would she know.
Sexual arousal in men is typically triggered by a combination of psychological, physical, and hormonal factors. Visual, auditory, or mental stimulation can lead to the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in arousal. Increased blood flow to the penis causes it to become erect, enabling sexual activity.
What is the subject mean in the sentences?

How does the addition of a prefix to a base word affect the spelling of the base word?
Prefixes and suffixes can actually make the word mean opposite things.
For instance, ironically, "pre-fix" - which is attached in front of the "fix" (fixed / base word) actually means the opposite of the word "suf-fix" - a suffix being placed after the root word.
In other cases, the prefix or suffix is sufficient in itself to give opposite meaning from the root word - as in (say) "sense" versus "nonsense".

Use of comma after interrogative?

Is there a comma before as well?
There could be a comma before "as well" but it isn't mandatory. Try speaking the sentence out loud. If you pause at a particular place, then that is where you would put in a comma.
Why don't you drop the E when adding the suffix to changeability?
One of the little-known rules (actually an adopted pattern) of adding -able to a verb is that the silent E is not dropped for words ending in -ce or -ge. So you have noticeable, traceable, knowledgeable, and changeable. The adverb forms with -ability follow the same rule.
Is will sting a simple predicate?
No. The simple predicate would be one word and in this case, it is sting.
Is stapler femine or masculine?
English does not have masculine and feminine, so this a moot question.
Dice are typically loaded by adding weight to one side, either by inserting a small object or by altering the shape of the die. This can result in an unbalanced weight distribution, causing the loaded side to land facing up more frequently when the die is rolled. It is important to note that loading dice is considered cheating in most games and is not allowed.

The root word "tonic" is derived from the Greek word "tonikos," meaning "of or for stretching." It generally relates to something that invigorates or energizes.
What does she blew the test mean?
It Means She Passed The Test. And Be Smarter.
It is more colloquial for "She blew it" to mean she failed rather than passed.
But if this is a breath alcohol test we are talking about, "she blew the test" means she took the test.
Can you give me an example of a complete subject and a complete predicate in the same sentence?
It is impossible to form a sentence without a complete subject and a complete predicate. Those are the two required constituent parts of any sentence. The subject is the simple subject and any of its associated parts, such as adjectives, and the predicate is the verb and any of its associated parts, such as adverbs and predicate objects.
The shortest possible sentence in the English language is, "I am." The subject is "I" and the predicate is "am."
