Question

Find out the incorrectly spelled word

• A. acrobatic
• B. aerobatic
• C. agnostic
• D. antibiatic

Hint:

When you encounter words with prefixes like "anti-", remember common suffixes such as "-biotic" (related to life) to help spell words correctly. Familiarity with root words and common affixes improves spelling accuracy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let's analyze each word carefully:
Step 1: Check the spelling of each word:

• Acrobatic: This word relates to acrobatics, performing gymnastic feats. The spelling is correct.
• Aerobatic: This word refers to maneuvers performed by aircraft, often in airshows. The spelling is correct.
• Agnostic: This word describes someone who believes that the existence of God or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable. The spelling is correct.
• Antibiatic: This word appears incorrect. The intended word is likely antibiotic, which refers to a medicine used to kill or inhibit bacteria.

Step 2: Understand the common correct spelling:

• The correct spelling is antibiotic, which is formed by combining anti- meaning "against" and biotic meaning "related to life" or "living organisms."
• The incorrect spelling antibiatic replaces the "-biotic" suffix with "-biatic," which is not a valid suffix in this context.

Therefore, option (D) antibiatic is the incorrectly spelled word.
