Identify Misspelled Word in Sentence

This question asks us to find the single misspelled word among the five words highlighted in bold within the given sentence. Let's examine each word carefully.

The sentence provided is: Islamabad​(A), which termed the inquery(B) as ordered by India as insufficient(C), has demanded(D) a joint probe(E).

Analyzing Bold Words

  • (A) Islamabad: This word is spelled correctly. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan.
  • (B) inquery: This word appears to be misspelled. The correct spelling for a formal investigation or search for information is inquiry.
  • (C) insufficient: This word is spelled correctly. It means not enough or inadequate.
  • (D) demanded: This word is spelled correctly. It is the past tense of 'demand', meaning to ask for something forcefully.
  • (E) probe: This word is spelled correctly. It refers to an investigation into a crime or other matter.

Identifying the Spelling Error

By reviewing each bold word, we find that 'inquery' is not the standard English spelling. The correct spelling is 'inquiry'. Therefore, the misspelled word is found in option B.
