The patient suffered from a rare _________ disease.

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

hemoglobinopathy

The blank calls for the correctly spelt medical term for a rare blood disorder.

The word is built from two parts: the root 'hemoglobin' (the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells) and the suffix '-opathy', which means disease or disorder.

Joining them exactly as they are spelt gives 'hemoglobin' + 'opathy' = 'hemoglobinopathy', keeping every internal vowel in place.

Option 1, 'hemaglobinopathy', wrongly inserts an 'a' after 'hem' instead of the 'o' of 'hemoglobin'.

Option 2, 'hemoglobinapathy', replaces the 'o' of '-opathy' with an 'a', breaking the suffix.

Option 4, 'haemoglobinopathi', mixes the British 'haemo-' opening with a misspelt ending 'pathi', so it is inconsistent and wrong; only option 3 preserves the correct American spelling throughout.

Hence the correctly spelt word is hemoglobinopathy.
