Identifying the Incorrectly Spelt Word

The question asks us to find the word that is spelt wrong among the given options. This is a common type of question that tests your knowledge of English spelling.

Analyzing Each Option for Correct Spelling

Let's look at each word provided and check its spelling:

  • Sufficeint: Let's consider this word. Does it look correct? The common spelling for this word is "sufficient". The ending "-eint" is usually incorrect in English words of this type.
  • Syrup: This word is commonly used to refer to a thick, sweet liquid. The spelling "syrup" is correct.
  • Superior: This word means higher in rank, status, or quality. The spelling "superior" is correct.
  • Shrubbery: This word refers to an area planted with shrubs. The spelling "shrubbery" is correct.

Identifying the Misspelt Word

Based on our analysis, the word "Sufficeint" is not spelt correctly. The correct spelling is sufficient, meaning 'enough' or 'adequate'. The other words – Syrup, Superior, and Shrubbery – are all spelt correctly.

Therefore, the incorrectly spelt word is "Sufficeint".

Revision Table: Correct and Incorrect Spellings

Word from Option Spelling Check Status Correct Spelling (if applicable)
Sufficeint Contains "-eint" ending, which is unusual for this word. Incorrectly Spelt Sufficient
Syrup Standard English spelling. Correctly Spelt Syrup
Superior Standard English spelling. Correctly Spelt Superior
Shrubbery Standard English spelling. Correctly Spelt Shrubbery

Additional Information on Common Spelling Errors

Identifying incorrectly spelt words often involves recognizing common patterns or tricky letter combinations. Here are some tips for improving your spelling:

  • Learn Common Patterns: Pay attention to common letter combinations and endings, like -ent vs. -ant, -able vs. -ible, -ei vs. -ie.
  • Practice Regularly: The more you read and write, the more familiar you become with correct spellings.
  • Use a Dictionary: If you are unsure about a spelling, look it up.
  • Proofread Carefully: Always review your writing for spelling mistakes. Reading backwards word by word can sometimes help catch errors.
  • Understand Root Words: Knowing the origin or root of a word can sometimes help with spelling.

In this question, recognizing that "sufficeint" deviates from the common spelling of "sufficient" was key.
