The question asks us to identify the word that is spelled incorrectly within the given sentence: "Apparently, he seems to be an amature person, but I know that he is a disciplined and committed person when it comes to doing something seriously." We need to examine each word, especially those provided in the options, to find the spelling mistake.
Let's look at the options provided and check their spelling in the context of standard English vocabulary.
We will now analyze each of these words based on common spelling rules and dictionary definitions.
The word "amature" appears in the sentence. Let's consider its common spelling. The word meaning someone who pursues a study, sport, or other activity for pleasure rather than for financial gain or professional reasons is typically spelled "amateur". Comparing "amature" and "amateur", we see a difference in the ending.
The correct spelling is amateur.
Therefore, "amature" as written in the sentence is misspelled.
The word "apparently" is an adverb meaning as far as one knows or can see, or seemingly. The spelling "apparently" is correct.
The word "committed" is the past tense or past participle of the verb "commit". It also functions as an adjective meaning feeling dedication and loyalty to a cause, activity, or job. The spelling "committed" (with a double 't') is correct.
The word "disciplined" is the past tense or past participle of the verb "discipline". It also functions as an adjective meaning showing a controlled form of behavior or way of working. The spelling "disciplined" is correct.
Based on our analysis, the only incorrectly spelled word among the options is "amature".
The word "amature" should be spelled "amateur". The sentence with the correct spelling would be: "Apparently, he seems to be an amateur person, but I know that he is a disciplined and committed person when it comes to doing something seriously."
Thus, the word that is INCORRECTLY spelled in the given sentence is "amature".
Here is a table summarizing the analysis of the words from the sentence:
| Word in Sentence | Spelling Correct? | Correct Spelling (if applicable) |
|---|---|---|
| amature | No | amateur |
| apparently | Yes | apparently |
| disciplined | Yes | disciplined |
| committed | Yes | committed |
