'Noticeable' is the correct spelling. The root word is 'notice' (with 'e'), and you add '-able'. The 'e' must be kept to show the soft 'c' sound. Options A, C, and D either omit or misplace the 'e', which changes the pronunciation.

'Interesting' is spelled correctly with one 't' after 'in-' and then '-est-'. The root word is 'interest', so you add '-ing' directly. Option A incorrectly doubles the 't' while omitting the 'e', and option D also incorrectly doubles the 't'.

'Manageable' is the correct spelling. The root word 'manage' drops the final 'e' before adding '-able', but keeps the interior 'e'. This follows the standard rule where words ending in consonant+'e' add '-able' directly (manage to manageable).

'Occurrence' is the correct spelling with double 'c' and double 'r'. This follows the pattern of 'occur' where both consonants are doubled before the suffix '-ence'. Options A, B, and D miss one or both of the doubled consonants.

'Pavilion' is spelled with one 'v', one 'i', one 'l', 'i', 'o', and 'n' at the end. Options B, C, and D all add extra letters that don't exist in the correct spelling.

'Possession' is the correct spelling with double 's' after the first 's'. This follows the pattern where 'possess' has double 's' and adding '-ion' keeps both. Options A, C, and D miss one or both of the 's' pairs.

'Mischievous' is the correct spelling. It follows the pattern 'mis-' + 'chief' + '-ous' but with 'chief' becoming 'chiev'. The correct vowel sequence is 'i-e-e-v-o-u-s'. Options A, B, and C all have incorrect vowel sequences.

'Monkeys' is the correct plural. For nouns ending in consonant+'y' (like monkey), the plural is formed by adding '-s' directly after the 'y'. You only change 'y' to 'i' and add '-es' when the word ends in vowel+'y' (like baby to babies).
