  2. Catilouge

  3. Catelouge

  4. Catloge

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

  3. Celebrate

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

  2. Charman

  3. Chairman

  4. Chriaman

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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'.

Multiple choice
  1. Cenntifugal

  2. Centrifugal

  3. Centirfugal

  4. Cintrifugal

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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').

Multiple choice
  1. Chracter

  2. Charcter

  3. Chascter

  4. Character

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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'.

Multiple choice
  1. Charge

  2. Cherge

  3. Chirge

  4. Cehrge

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Cherged

  2. Charged

  3. Chared

  4. Cahrged

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Chargeble

  2. Chergeble

  3. Chargeable

  4. Charable

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice
  1. Charitable

  2. Chirtable

  3. Caritable

  4. Cahritable

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
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.

Multiple choice

  2. Cehimal

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer

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.
