Choose the correctly spelt word:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Insouciant

The question asks us to identify which of the four options is spelt correctly.

The intended word means carefree, casually unconcerned or free from anxiety.

Its correct spelling is 'Insouciant', taken from French, with the sequence i-n-s-o-u-c-i-a-n-t.

'Innocient' is a wrong form; the real word 'innocent' has a different spelling and a different meaning altogether.

'Insocant' drops the crucial 'ou' and 'i' letters, and 'Iinsociant' begins with a doubled 'I' and misorders the letters.

Only 'Insouciant' preserves the exact, standard sequence of letters, so it is the correctly spelt option.

Hence the correctly spelt word is Insouciant.
