Key Differences
The word has "-ly," commonly used to turn adjectives into adverbs.
Think of "parent" which is within the word, to remind you of the double "p."
Two "p's" like in "apple," not just one.
Remember it's "apparent" with the suffix "-ly."
It's like saying "it's apparent" quickly, which can help you remember the "ent-ly" at the end.
