Reciept
Finding the Incorrectly Spelt Word
The question asks us to identify the word that is spelt incorrectly among the given options. Let's examine each word.
Analysis of the Options
- Option 1: Review
The spelling "Review" is correct. It means to look at or examine something again, or a formal assessment of something.
- Option 2: Deceive
The spelling "Deceive" is correct. It means to make someone believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage.
- Option 3: Reciept
The spelling "Reciept" is incorrect. The correct spelling is "Receipt". A receipt is a piece of paper or electronic document that shows that goods or services have been paid for.
- Option 4: Perceive
The spelling "Perceive" is correct. It means to become aware of something; to come to realize or understand something.
Identifying the Incorrect Spelling
Based on the analysis, the word "Reciept" is the only one that is spelt incorrectly.
The confusion often arises from the common English spelling rule: "i before e, except after c, or when sounded as 'a' as in neighbor and weigh".
- "Deceive" and "Perceive" follow the "except after c" part of the rule (deceive, perceive).
- "Review" doesn't fit this rule directly, but its spelling is standard.
- "Receipt" is an exception to the "i before e" rule. The 'e' comes before the 'i' even though it follows a 'c'. The silent 'p' is also a common point of error for learners.
Conclusion
The word "Reciept" is incorrectly spelt. The correct spelling is "Receipt".

Additional Information: English Spelling Rules and Exceptions
English spelling has many rules, but also many exceptions. Understanding these can help, but often memorization and practice are key to mastering difficult words.
- The 'i before e' Rule: "i before e, except after c, or when sounded as 'a' as in neighbor and weigh."
- Examples following the rule: achieve, believe, friend, pierce.
- Examples after 'c': receive, deceive, conceive, perceive.
- Examples sounding as 'a': neighbor, weigh, sleigh.
- Common Exceptions: There are many exceptions to the 'i before e' rule, such as: seize, weird, height, foreign, leisure, protein, science, species, sufficient, ancient. And, as seen in this question, receipt.
- Silent Letters: Many English words have silent letters that can cause spelling difficulties, such as the silent 'p' in receipt, silent 'k' in know, silent 'w' in write, silent 'b' in doubt, silent 'h' in ghost.
Practicing spelling by reading widely and writing frequently can help reinforce the correct forms of words.
