Identifying Correct Spelling in Sentences
The question asks us to select the sentence that is free from spelling errors among the given options. All the sentences are identical except for one word: 'disenfranchised' and its variations.
To answer this question, we need to know the correct spelling of the word used to describe the state of having one's rights, particularly the right to vote, removed or denied.
Let's examine the differing word in each option:
- Option 1: dissenfranchised
- Option 2: dysenfranchised
- Option 3: dysenfrenchized
- Option 4: disenfranchised
The correct spelling of the word is disenfranchised.
Let's compare the spelling in each option to the correct spelling:
| Option | Word Used | Correct Spelling | Spelling Error? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | dissenfranchised | disenfranchised | Yes (starts with 'dissen' instead of 'disen') |
| 2 | dysenfranchised | disenfranchised | Yes (starts with 'dysen' instead of 'disen') |
| 3 | dysenfrenchized | disenfranchised | Yes (starts with 'dysen', ends with 'frenchized' instead of 'franchised') |
| 4 | disenfranchised | disenfranchised | No |
Based on the comparison, only Option 4 uses the correct spelling of the word disenfranchised. Therefore, Option 4 contains no spelling errors.

The sentence with no spelling errors is the one that uses the correct spelling of the word related to denying rights.
- Option 1: Contains the misspelling "dissenfranchised".
