Question

Which of the following words CANNOT be formed using the letters of the word “REPUTATION”?

The correct answer is

NURTURE

Letters of REPUTATION: R, E, P, U, T (2), A, I, O, N.

PAINTER, RATION and POINTER can all be formed from these letters.

NURTURE needs two U's and two R's, but REPUTATION has only one of each, so it cannot be formed.

Hence, NURTURE.
