In the following question, four words are given out of which one word is correctly spelt. Select the correctly spelt word.
Castigated
The verb is castigate (to reprimand severely); its past tense adds -d to give castigated — single t at the start, i in the second syllable, -ed ending.
"Castegated" uses the wrong vowel (e instead of i); "Castigatad" uses the wrong ending (-ad instead of -ed); "Casttigated" doubles the t. Only option (3) Castigated is correctly spelt.
Select the correctly spelt word.
