Four meaningful words are given in the options you have to check that which of the following words cannot be formed from the letters. "INTELLIGENCE"?
CANCEL
In a word-formation question a candidate word can be built only if every letter it needs, counted with its repetitions, is actually available in the source word.
List the letters of INTELLIGENCE: I, N, T, E, L, L, I, G, E, N, C, E; grouping them gives E three times, L twice, I twice, N twice, and one each of T, G, and C, with no letter A present at all.
NEGLECT needs N, E, G, L, E, C, T, which calls for two E's and one each of N, G, L, C, T; every one of these is available, so NEGLECT can be formed.
GENTLE needs G, E, N, T, L, E, again two E's and single G, N, T, L, all of which the pool supplies, so it can be formed.
INCITE needs I, N, C, I, T, E, which requires two I's and one each of N, C, T, E; since two I's are available, INCITE can be formed too.
CANCEL needs C, A, N, C, E, L, which demands the letter A and two C's, but INTELLIGENCE contains no A at all and only a single C, so CANCEL cannot be built.
The decisive check is matching every required letter and its frequency against the source word, and CANCEL fails on both the missing A and the shortage of C's.
Hence the word that cannot be formed is CANCEL.
