Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

The correct spelling is "Efficiency" with the letter 'i' after 'f' and 'c' (eff-i-cien-cy). Option B incorrectly uses 'E' instead of 'i' after 'f', and Option C misspells the middle portion as 'cian' instead of 'cien'. "None of these" is unnecessary since a correct option exists.

  3. Faerce

  4. Fearce

Explanation

The correct spelling is "Fierce" with 'ie' after 'f' (fierce). Option A incorrectly writes it as "Ferce" missing the 'i', Option C uses "Faerce" with an unnecessary 'a', and Option D writes "Fearce" which adds an extra 'a'. The pronunciation is like 'fear' but with 'ie' spelling.

The correct spelling is "Foreigner" with 'ei' after 'for' (for-ei-gn-er). Option A incorrectly writes "Foraigner" using 'ai' instead of 'ei', and Option C writes "Forigner" missing the 'e' in the middle. The 'ei' pattern is consistent with words like 'reign' and 'sovereign'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Option B incorrectly writes "Gography" missing the 'r', Option C uses "Geografy" with 'f' instead of 'ph', and Option D writes "Geogrephy" with 're' instead of 'r'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself

Explanation

The correct spelling is "Hurricane" with 'rr' and 'c' (hur-ri-cane). Option B writes "Huricane" with single 'r', and Option C writes "Hariricane" with an unnecessary 'a' after 'h' and 'i' after 'r'.

  3. Imaginative

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct spelling is "Imaginative" with 'in' instead of 'in' (im-a-gi-na-tive). However, this question asks for a correctly spelled word, and Option C "Imaginative" is indeed the correct spelling of the adjective form. Option A writes "Imegination" incorrectly, and Option B writes "Imagenation" also incorrectly. Note that this asks for the adjective form, not the noun 'imagination'.
