Question

Which one of the following is a correctly spelled word?

• A. commensurate
• B. proporsionate
• C. asymmatrical
• D. resurection

Hint:

Remember key double-consonant combinations using visual associations: * commensurate: Double 'm' (com- + mensuratus). * resurrection: Double 'r' (re- + surrectio).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Evaluating correct spelling in this set relies on noting correct single versus double consonant placements alongside phonetic representations of central vowels.

Step 1: Confirm correct status for option A. * "commensurate" is correctly spelled with a double 'm' and single 'n', followed by single 's'. * Meaning: Corresponding in size, degree, or proportion.

Step 2: Analyze and correct option B. * "proporsionate" is incorrect. The internal consonant sound is a hard 'ti' generating a "sh" expression, not a single 's'. * Correct Spelling: proportionate (corresponding in size or amount to something else).

Step 3: Analyze and correct option C. * "asymmatrical" is incorrect because of an erroneous vowel 'a' in the third syllable. * Correct Spelling: asymmetrical (having parts or aspects that are not equal or equivalent).

Step 4: Analyze and correct option D. * "resurection" is incorrect because it misses the necessary doubling of the internal 'r'. * Correct Spelling: resurrection (the action or fact of bringing something back into use, institutional existence, or awareness).
