The correct spelling is 'serene' meaning calm, peaceful, or untroubled. It's an adjective used to describe a calm state or atmosphere. Option A correctly spells it with '-ene'. Options B, C, and D incorrectly modify the vowel combination. This word comes from Latin 'serenus' meaning clear or calm.

The correct spelling is 'Fabricating'. In English, the 'k' sound after 'i' in this root is represented by 'c' before 'a'. The other options use 'k' or 'ck', which are incorrect for this Latin-derived word.

'Trigger' is the correct spelling of the word meaning to activate or cause. The word follows the pattern: consonant-vowel-consonant (TRI) doubled consonant (GG) vowel (E) consonant (R). Options B (Triger), C (Trikker), and D (Treker) are all misspelled - they either don't double the 'g' or use incorrect vowels.

The correct spelling is 'Domiciliary', which refers to occurring in a person's home. It follows the pattern of 'auxiliary', ending in '-iary'.

'Thesaurus' (a book of synonyms and antonyms) is the correct spelling. Key spelling pattern: 'ae' comes after 'th', 'au' after the second 's', and 'rus' at the end. Think of it as 'ThE SAUrus' to remember. Options A (Thesarus), B (Thesaarus), and C (Thesaerus) all mix up the 'ae' and 'au' placement.

The correct spelling is 'Thorough', meaning complete or with great attention to detail. The distractors are phonetic misspellings or jumbled versions of the vowels 'o' and 'u'.

'Disciplinary' (relating to discipline or punishment) is formed from 'discipline' by dropping the final 'e' and adding '-ary'. The correct spelling maintains 'dis-CIP-line' before the suffix. Options A (Discipilanry), B (Discipilnary), and D (Discplanry) incorrectly swap 'i' and 'a' or drop the 'e' and change the vowel order.

'Ridiculous' (meaning deserving or inviting mockery or derision) is the correct spelling. The word maintains 'ridic' from the root 'ridicule' and adds '-ulous'. Common misspellings often change the 'i' to 'e' (rediculous, readiculous) or drop the 'u' (ridiculos) based on mispronunciation. The correct form keeps 'i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s'.

'Subsidiary' (meaning secondary or auxiliary) is the correct spelling. The pattern is: 'sub' + 'sid' + 'iary' - notice the 'ia' appears twice. Think of 'subsidiary' and 'subsidiaries' (plural) sharing the same 'i-a-r' pattern. Options A (Subsidiery), B (Subsidiry), and C (Subsiadiary) incorrectly swap 'i' and 'e' or add extra letters.

The correct spelling is 'Auxiliary', which contains two 'i's (one after 'x' and one after 'l'). Common misspellings often omit one of these vowels or change the 'a' to an 'i'.
