One of these words is spelled incorrectly. Which one is it?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Joviel

The task is to spot the word that is spelled incorrectly among the four options.

'Joviel' is the misspelt word; the correct spelling is 'Jovial', meaning cheerful and friendly.

The error is the ending, which should be '-ial' as in 'jovial', not '-iel'.

'Taciturn', meaning reserved or saying little, is spelled correctly.

'Decadence', meaning moral decline or self-indulgence, is spelled correctly.

'Pernicious', meaning having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual way, is also spelled correctly.

So only the fourth option departs from its correct dictionary form.

Therefore the incorrectly spelled word is Joviel.
