Question

Choose the correct spelling from the options given below:

• A. systemetically
• B. systematically
• C. systemeticly
• D. systematically

Hint:

To avoid spelling mistakes with adverbs, always look at the core adjective first. If the adjective ends in -ic (like systematic, tragic, artistic), its adverb form will always end in -ically (systematically, tragically, artistically).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Spelling accuracy exercises require analyzing how suffixes are added to base words.
• Root Word: System (noun)
• Adjective Form: Systematic (derived by adding the suffix "-atic")
• Adverb Conversion Rule: When turning an adjective ending in "-ic" into an adverb, the suffix "-ally" must be added, not just "-ly".
• Derivation Path: \[\text{System} \rightarrow \text{Systematic} \rightarrow \text{Systematic} + \text{ally} = \text{Systematically\]

Step 1: {Evaluating the provided options side-by-side.}
Let us carefully examine the spelling of each option:
• systemetically: This is incorrect because it changes the second 'a' to an 'e'.
• systematically: This accurately preserves the root vowels ("sys-tem-at-ic") and applies the correct adverb ending ("-ally").
• systemeticly: This contains two errors: it drops the 'a' in the suffix and uses an incorrect 'e' in the middle.
• systematically: Note that options (2) and (4) are printed identically in this test sheet due to a typographical error in the original exam paper. Both represent the correct spelling: s-y-s-t-e-m-a-t-i-c-a-l-l-y.

Step 2: {Final mapping.}
The correct spelling is systematically, which corresponds to option (2) on the validated grading key.
