Spelling Errors

'Repentance' is the correct noun form meaning regret or remorse. The double 'n' after 'Repen' and the ending '-ance' (not '-ene' or '-enc') are key spelling rules to remember.

'Lieutenant' is the correct military rank spelling. It starts with 'Lie', has 'eu' in the middle, and ends with '-enant'. The 'ie' follows the 'i before e' rule when sounding like 'ee'.

'Legendary' means famous or celebrated. The correct spelling has '-ary' ending (like 'ordinary'), not '-ery' or '-sy'. The root is 'legend' plus '-ary' suffix.

'Temperament' refers to a person's nature or disposition. It has 'per' in the middle (not 'pra'), ends with '-ment', and includes 'a' after 'm'. Double 'm' is incorrect.

'Necessary' is spelled with one 'c' and double 's': 'nec-ES-sary'. The ending is '-ary' (like 'ordinary'), not '-asy' or '-ay'. This is one of the most commonly misspelled words.

'Committee' is the correct spelling for a group of people assembled for a purpose. It has double 'm', double 't', and double 'e' in the middle: com-MIT-tee. Remember: 'commit' plus '-tee'.

'Commitment' means a pledge or promise. It has double 'm', single 't', and ends with '-ment'. Unlike 'committee', this word refers to the act of committing, not the group.

'Commander' is the correct spelling for a military officer rank or leader. It has 'mm' in the middle, 'nd' after that, and ends with '-er'. The root is 'command' plus '-er' suffix.

'Budgetary' means relating to a budget. It starts with 'Budg-' (like 'budget'), has 'e' after 'g', and ends with '-ary' (adjective suffix). Not 'yt', 'g', or 'sr'.

'Rapprochement' means the renewal of friendly relations. It starts with 'Rap-' (not 'Re-'), has 'pp' and 'och', and ends with '-ment'. French origin word commonly used in diplomacy.

'Incumbent' means currently holding an office or position. It starts with 'Inc-' (not 'Inc-'), has 'um' after 'c', 'b' after 'u', and ends with '-ent'. No 'a' in the spelling.

Sovereignty is spelled with 'e' after the v (sove-), not 'a' (sove-). The ending is '-eignty' with an 'e' before the 'i', not '-iegnty'. Remember: reign + sovereignty share the 'eig' pattern.

Accurate has two c's and one r after each other: 'ac-cu-rate'. Not 'ac-cu-r-rate' (extra r) or 'ac-u-rate' (missing c). The 'cur' syllable keeps the c from the prefix 'ac-'.

Benefited is spelled with one 't' after the 'e' (not two). The past tense of 'benefit' follows standard patterns: drop the 't', add 'ed'. Common error is doubling the t, but 'benefited' is the preferred spelling.

Apprentice starts with 'Ap-p' (double p), then 'ren', then 'tice'. The 'a' after 'p' is not dropped (not 'Aprentise'). The middle syllable is '-ren-' not '-re-' or '-ern-'.

Rehearsal is spelled 're-hear-sal' with 'hear' in the middle (not 'her' or 'reher'). The ending is '-sal' not '-sel'. Remember: re + hear + sal (like you 'hear' something during rehearsal).

Hindrance is spelled with 'd' after 'n' (hind-), not 'hider-'. The ending is '-rance' with 'a' not 'e'. Think of 'hinder' + '-ance' = hindrance (the 'e' from 'hinder' is absorbed).

Effervescent starts with 'E-ffe-' (double f), then 'rves-', then 'cent'. The prefix 'ef-' becomes 'eff-' before the root. The middle is '-rves-' not '-rvesn-' or '-rv-'. The ending is '-cent' like 'decent'.

Appellation is spelled 'Ap-pel-la-tion' - double 'p', then 'el' (not 'al'), double 'l', then '-tion'. The middle has 'el' not 'al' (apel- vs appel-). Remember: app + ell + ation.

Prevalent is spelled 'Pre-va-lent' with 'a' not 'e' in the second syllable (prev- vs prev-). The ending is '-ent' not '-ant'. It's like 'prevail' + '-ent' but with 'a' preserved.

Danseuse is a French-derived ballet term (female dancer). It's spelled 'Dan-seuse' with 'seu' not 'sau' or 'su'. The 'eu' makes the 'oo' sound. This is a specialized term, not common in everyday English.

Genealogy is spelled 'Gen-eal-o-gy' with 'ea' not 'eo' or 'e' in the second syllable. The middle is '-eal-' (like 'real'), not '-eol-' or '-el-'. Think of 'gene' + 'alogy' (the 'a' is preserved).

Satellite is spelled 'Sat-el-lite' with one 'l' after 'e', then double 'l'. It's NOT 'sateliet' or 'satteliet'. The pattern is sat-el-lite (3 syllables, with double 'l' only at the end).

Alliteration is the correct spelling for the literary device where words begin with the same sound. Option A has the correct double 'l' and double 't'. Options B, C, and D are misspelled variants with incorrect letter combinations.
