Accessible is the correct spelling. The word has a double 's' after the prefix 'ac-' because it comes from Latin 'accessibilis'. The 'ss' pattern is consistent with related words like access and accession.

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'.

  3. Visible

  4. Vessibal

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Inflaxible

  2. Inflexible

  3. Inflacsible

  4. Inflaxibal

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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).

Multiple choice
  1. Dull-eyed

  2. Dall-eyed

  3. Dall-iyed

  4. Dull-iyeed

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Firebridge

  2. Fire-brigade

  3. Fire-bridage

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Dibentureholder

  2. Dabenture-holder

  3. Debentaure-halder

  4. Debenture-holder

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.
