-
Accesible
-
Acesible

Managaeble
-
Manageable
-
Managable
-
Menagabal
B
Correct answer

Manageable is the correct spelling. When adding '-able' to words ending in silent 'e', the 'e' is usually dropped (manage + able = manageable). The 'g' remains soft without needing 'e'.

Invulnarable
-
Invulnareble
-
Invalnerabal
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Invulnerable is the correct spelling. The prefix 'in-' combines with 'vulnerable'. The 'n' in 'un' is retained, and 'able' remains unchanged - it's not a suffix addition but direct prefix attachment.
-
Hairpup
-
Air-pump
-
Air-pamp
-
Heirpump
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Air-pump is the correct spelling. It's a compound word with 'air' and 'pump' joined by a hyphen. The 'pump' spelling is standard, not 'pamp' or other variations. 'Air' spells with 'ai' not 'hair' or 'heir'.
-
Incorrigible
-
Incorigible
-
Incorrigibal
-
Incorrogble
A
Correct answer

Incorrigible is the correct spelling. The word combines 'in-' prefix with 'corrigible' (from Latin corrigere - to correct). It keeps the 'rr' and ends with 'ible', maintaining the original Latin structure.
-
Beltdrivan
-
Beltdriven
-
Belt-driven
-
None of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Belt-driven is the correct spelling. When 'belt' and 'driven' combine as a compound adjective, they are hyphenated. The word 'driven' (from drive) keeps its standard spelling with 'v' not 'f'.
-
Veesible
-
Visibal
-
Visible
-
Vessibal
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct spelling is 'Visible' - derived from Latin 'visibilis' meaning 'that can be seen'. The other options add unnecessary letters like 'Veesible', 'Visibal', and 'Vessibal' which are not standard English spellings.
-
Inflaxible
-
Inflexible
-
Inflacsible
-
Inflaxibal
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Inflexible is the correct spelling - from Latin 'inflexibilis' meaning not bendable. The middle letter is 'e' not 'a' (Inflaxible), and the ending is '-ible' not '-ibal' (Inflaxibal). The 'x' in Inflaxible/Inflaxabal is incorrect - the root is 'flex' from Latin 'flectere' (to bend).
-
Dull-eyed
-
Dall-eyed
-
Dall-iyed
-
Dull-iyeed
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Dull-eyed is the correct spelling - it's a compound adjective describing someone with dull or lifeless eyes. The word 'dull' uses 'u' not 'a' (Dall-eyed), and the past tense of 'eye' is 'eyed' not 'iyed' or 'iyeed'. The hyphen connects the two parts correctly.
-
Firebridge
-
Fire-brigade
-
Fire-bridage
-
None of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Fire-brigade is the correct spelling - it refers to a fire department or firefighting service. 'Bridge' is a different word entirely (a structure), so 'Firebridge' is wrong. The correct term has 'brigade' (an organized group) and is properly hyphenated as a compound noun.
-
Dibentureholder
-
Dabenture-holder
-
Debentaure-halder
-
Debenture-holder
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Debenture-holder is the correct spelling - a debenture is a type of debt instrument, and a debenture-holder is someone who holds it. The root is 'debenture' (not 'dibenture' or 'dabenture'), and 'holder' (not 'halder'). The hyphen correctly connects the compound noun.
