Which of the following is incorrectly spelled?
Quiesence
Quiesence is correct.
The correct spelling is quiescence (q-u-i-e-s-c-e-n-c-e), meaning a state of inactivity or dormancy. It comes from the Latin quiescere, "to rest", so the letter "c" after "s" cannot be dropped; "Quiesence" misses it.
The other words are spelt correctly: Chauvinism (excessive or prejudiced loyalty to one's own group), Melancholy (deep, lasting sadness) and Ubiquitous (present everywhere).
