-
Catalogue
-
Catilouge
-
Catelouge
-
Catloge
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Catalogue is the standard English spelling for a list or inventory (alternative to catalog). The middle 'a' and ending 'ue' are key: other options misspell the middle vowels (Catilouge, Catelouge) or drop the first 'a' (Catloge). In American English, 'catalog' is common, but 'catalogue' remains correct in British and international usage.
-
Celbrate
-
Cilebrate
-
Celebrate
-
Celbreate
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Celebrate has the pattern e-le-bra-te with clear 'e' sounds after 'C' and before the final 'te'. Distractor 'Celbrate' drops the middle 'e', while 'Cilebrate' and 'Celbreate' scramble the vowel order completely. The stressed syllable is 'leb' with a clear 'e' sound.
-
Chirman
-
Charman
-
Chairman
-
Chriaman
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Chairman follows the pattern chai-r-man, where 'ai' makes the clear 'air' sound. 'Chirman' and 'Charman' incorrectly use 'i' or 'ar' for the first syllable, while 'Chriaman' scrambles all the vowels. The 'h' follows the 'C', not 'r'.
-
Cenntifugal
-
Centrifugal
-
Centirfugal
-
Cintrifugal
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Centrifugal describes outward force from rotation (centri- + -fugal). The root is 'centri' (center), not 'cent' or 'centir'. The correct spelling has a clear 'i' after 'e' before 'f'. Distractors misspell the first vowel ('Cenntifugal'), the middle vowel ('Centirfugal'), or both ('Cintrifugal').
-
Chracter
-
Charcter
-
Chascter
-
Character
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Character uses the 'a' after 'Ch' clearly (cha-rac-ter). The middle 'ac' sequence is distinctive. 'Chracter' drops the first 'a', 'Charcter' drops the middle 'a', and 'Chascter' scrambles the vowels. The 'h' comes immediately after 'C'.
-
Charge
-
Cherge
-
Chirge
-
Cehrge
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Charge is a common verb/noun with simple spelling: C-h-a-r-g-e. The 'a' after 'h' and single 'r' before 'ge' are key. Distrutors misspell the vowel ('Cherge', 'Chirge') or add extra letters ('Cehrge'). This is one of the simplest spelling questions in the set.
-
Cherged
-
Charged
-
Chared
-
Cahrged
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Charged is the past tense of charge, formed by adding '-ed' to the base word without dropping the 'e' (charge + ed = charged). The key is keeping the full base word spelling intact. 'Chared' drops the 'r', while 'Cherged' and 'Cahrged' misspell the vowels. This tests understanding of regular past tense formation.
-
Chargeble
-
Chergeble
-
Chargeable
-
Charable
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Chargeable adds '-able' to 'charge' by keeping the 'e' (charge + able = chargeable). This is the correct rule: keep the 'e' when adding '-able' to words ending in consonant+e. 'Chargeble' drops the 'a', 'Chergeble' misspells the base, and 'Charable' misses the 'ge'. This tests spelling rules for suffix formation.
-
Charitable
-
Chirtable
-
Caritable
-
Cahritable
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Charitable has the pattern cha-ri-ta-ble with clear 'a' after 'Ch' and 'i' after 'r'. The suffix '-able' is standard. 'Chirtable' uses 'i' instead of 'a', 'Caritable' drops the 'h', and 'Cahritable' scrambles the beginning vowels. The base 'charity' + '-able' helps remember the spelling.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Chart is the correct spelling. A chart is a graphical representation of data or information. 'Chirt', 'Chert', and 'Cahrt' are all misspelled variants with incorrect letter placement.
-
Chemial
-
Cehimal
-
Chamical
-
Chemical
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Chemical follows the pattern che-mi-cal with 'e' after 'Ch' and 'i' after 'm'. 'Chemial' drops the 'c' before 'al', 'Cehimal' scrambles the vowels, and 'Chamical' uses 'a' instead of 'e'. The word relates to 'chemistry' and 'chemist', which can help memory. The stress is on the first syllable.
