Finding the Incorrectly Spelled Word

The question asks us to identify the word that is spelled incorrectly among the given options. To do this, we need to carefully examine the spelling of each word provided.

Detailed Analysis of Spelling Options

Let's look at each option:

  • Arrangement: This word refers to the way in which things are placed or organized, or a plan for something. The spelling 'Arrangement' is correct.
  • Jeopardize: This word means to put someone or something into a situation in which there is a danger of loss, harm, or failure. The spelling 'Jeopardize' is a correct spelling (American English variant). The British English spelling is 'Jeopardise'. Both are considered correct spellings of the word.
  • Corruption: This word refers to dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. The spelling 'Corruption' is correct.
  • Remmission: This word appears to be a misspelling of the word 'Remission'. The word 'Remission' typically refers to the temporary or permanent decrease or disappearance of symptoms of a disease (like cancer) or a reduction of a fine or sentence. The correct spelling has a single 'm' and a double 's'.

Identifying the Incorrect Spelling

Based on our analysis, three of the words are spelled correctly in common usage, while one word contains a spelling error.

The word 'Remmission' is incorrectly spelled. The correct spelling is 'Remission'.

Additional Information on English Spelling

English spelling can be tricky because it doesn't always follow strict phonetic rules. Many words have origins in different languages, which contributes to irregular spellings. Common spelling difficulties include:

  • Words with silent letters (e.g., know, psychology).
  • Words with similar sounds but different spellings and meanings (homophones, e.g., there/their/they're).
  • Using single or double consonants (e.g., committee, recommend, remission).
  • Vowel combinations (e.g., receive vs. believe).
  • Adding suffixes to words (e.g., argument vs. arrangement).

Practicing regularly and paying attention to word patterns can help improve spelling skills.
