Spellings

Perturbation (disturbance or deviation from normal state) is correctly spelled with 'Per' + 'turb' + 'ation'. Option A incorrectly writes 'Peturbation', C uses 'Patterbation', and D misspells it as 'Pertabation'. The 'turb' root is the same as in 'disturb' or 'turbulence'.

Overhaul (thorough examination or repair) is correctly spelled with 'Over' + 'haul'. Option A incorrectly writes 'Overal', B uses 'Overheual', and D misspells it as 'Ovarehaul'. The word comes from 'haul' meaning to pull or drag - to overhaul is to pull something apart for examination.

Pitiful (deserving or causing pity) is correctly spelled with 'Pit' + 'iful'. Option A incorrectly writes 'Piatful', B uses 'Patitual', and D misspells it as 'Piteful'. The suffix '-iful' is the same as in 'beautiful' or 'wonderful'.

Abundance is the correct spelling.

The correct spelling is 'amateur' (not 'ameteur' or similar variants). It refers to someone who engages in an activity for pleasure rather than for professional payment.

Balloon is the correct spelling.

The correct spelling is 'buffet' (with double 'f' and single 't'). It refers to a meal where guests serve themselves from various dishes displayed on a table.

The correct spelling is 'circumstantial' (with 'stan' not 'sten'). It refers to something dependent on circumstances or relating to circumstances.

Definite is the correct spelling.

The correct spelling is 'Discussion' with double 's' after the vowel 'i' and single 's' after 'i'. The root word is 'discuss' which already has double 's', so we add '-ion' to form the noun. Common errors include adding extra consonants or misplacing the double consonant.
