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

Palate

The question asks for the correctly spelt word among four near-identical options.

The intended word is 'palate', which means the roof of the mouth and, by extension, a person's sense of taste.

Its correct spelling is p-a-l-a-t-e, with the 'a-t-e' ending, and this is the only option that matches a real English word.

'Palete', 'Palet' and 'Pelate' each alter a vowel or drop a letter and are not valid English words.

A useful check for spelling questions is to test each option against a known correct form and eliminate any that fail.

One must also keep 'palate' distinct from its homophones 'palette' (the board for mixing colours) and 'pallet' (a wooden platform for goods), which sound alike but differ in spelling and meaning.

Hence, the correctly spelt word is Palate.
