Spelling Errors — Preparation

This question tests your understanding of Spelling Errors, a key topic in the English Language section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.

Spelling error questions ask you to find the correctly spelt word among several options, or to identify the misspelt word in a sentence or list. They test careful attention to commonly confused and frequently misspelt words such as "accommodate", "occurrence", "embarrass", "necessary", "separate" and "conscientious". Most errors involve doubled consonants (committee, possession), "ie" and "ei" combinations (receive, achieve), silent letters (subtle, rhythm), and endings such as "-ance" and "-ence" or "-able" and "-ible". Learning spelling rules helps, but many words simply have to be remembered. Keep a personal list of words you get wrong and review it regularly. In the exam, compare the options letter by letter rather than relying on a quick glance. Practise the spelling error questions below. Each solution shows the correct spelling and the rule or pattern behind it.
