Identifying the INCORRECTLY Spelt Word

The question asks us to find the word among the options that is spelt incorrectly. To answer this, we need to examine the spelling of each word provided.

Let's look at each option carefully:

  • Option 1: Treble
    The word 'Treble' means three times the amount or number, or a high-pitched voice or sound. The spelling 'Treble' is correct.
  • Option 2: Nozzle
    The word 'Nozzle' refers to a spout from which a jet of liquid or gas issues. The spelling 'Nozzle' is correct.
  • Option 3: Allmost
    The word 'Allmost' is intended to mean 'very nearly' or 'almost all'. However, the spelling 'Allmost' with two 'l's is incorrect. The correct spelling is 'Almost'.
  • Option 4: Moisture
    The word 'Moisture' refers to water or other liquid diffused in a small quantity as vapour, droplets, or condensation. The spelling 'Moisture' is correct.

Based on our analysis, the word 'Allmost' is incorrectly spelt. The question specifically asks for the INCORRECTLY spelt word.

  • Treble - Correct
