Finding the Misspelled Word
The question asks us to identify the one misspelled word among the five bolded words in the given sentence. Let's examine the sentence and each bolded word carefully.
The sentence is: It is a big blow for family(A) members to return without(B) being granted a meeting(C) after having incurred the necessary(D) time, travel, and other expanses(E).
Analyzing the Bolded Words
- (A) members: This word is spelled correctly. It refers to the people belonging to a family or group.
- (B) without: This word is spelled correctly. It means 'in the absence of' or 'not having'.
- (C) meeting: This word is spelled correctly. It refers to an occasion when people come together.
- (D) necessary: This word is spelled correctly. It means required or needed.
- (E) expanses: This word appears to be misspelled in this context. The word 'expanses' refers to wide, open areas. However, the sentence talks about the costs and money spent on time, travel, etc. The correct word for costs or charges is 'expenses'.
Identifying the Correct Spelling
The word 'expenses' refers to the costs incurred for something. The sentence structure clearly indicates that it is referring to the costs associated with the travel and time, not the extent or area.
Therefore, the misspelled word is 'expanses', and the correct spelling should be 'expenses'.
Conclusion
The misspelled word is found in option (E).
