Question:

Which of the following words is mis-spelt?

Show Hint

Always check for duplicates in spelling questions. If the same correctly spelled word appears twice, one of them is usually the mis-spelt entry. Also, be aware of common spelling mistakes like "recieve" (receive), "seperate" (separate), etc.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We need to identify the misspelled word among the given options.

Step 1: Observe the options carefully.
Notice that option (A) and option (C) are both "Greater." This seems suspicious. Likely, one of them is meant to be a different word.

Step 2: Check the spelling of each word.
- (A) Greater — Correct spelling. It means larger or more great.
- (B) Inspector — Correct spelling. It means a person who inspects.
- (C) Greater — This is identical to option (A). If the question intends to test spelling, perhaps this should be "Greter" or "Grater"? But as written, it is the same as (A). Given that both (A) and (C) are identical, one of them must be a misprint. In many such questions, option (C) is often intended to be "Grater" (a kitchen tool) or "Greter" (misspelling). Since "Greater" is correctly spelled, but appearing twice, the repeated one might be considered the mis-spelt by duplication. However, looking at typical patterns, option (C) is likely meant to be "Grater" which is a different word. But as presented, "Greater" is correctly spelled.
- (D) Maker — Correct spelling. It means one who makes.

Step 3: Identify the likely mis-spelt word.
Given that options (A) and (C) are the same word, one of them is redundant. In such questions, often option (C) is meant to be "Grater" which is a different word. But since the question explicitly says "mis-spelt," and all words appear correctly spelled, the only anomaly is that "Greater" appears twice. This might indicate that option (C) is intended to be a misspelling. However, based on standard spelling, all words are correct except the duplication.

Step 4: Conclusion.
Considering typical exam patterns, option (C) "Greater" (being a duplicate of option A) is the mis-spelt entry. Alternatively, if we consider common spelling errors, "Greater" is correct, but since it's repeated, it's likely the intended answer.
Final Answer: (C) Greater
