Question

Choose the correct spelling:

a) integrity
b) intigerity
c) integerety
d) integerity

Answer 1

Hint: To choose the correct spelling, we have to look at the various options given and try to spell out the word which we can understand the options are trying to convey. Pronounce the words exactly how it is written because spelling out loud helps to spot the mistake.

Complete answer:

The correct answer is option a “integrity”. A person with integrity is very honest and believes in principles. The word is pronounced as in-te-gri-ty. He was liked by everyone in the office because of his integrity and hard work.
Option b is wrong because the syllable of “ge” is extra. Also, it is a “te” and not a “ti”. It is not pronounced as in-ti-ge-ri-ty. It has a lot of extra syllables.
Option c is also wrong because the word integrity has two “i”s and there is just one “i” in the given option. It also has extra syllables that are not used when we pronounce “integrity”.
Option d is incorrect because it has an extra “e” before the letter “r”. The pronunciation is “gr” and not “ger”.
So, the correct answer is “Option a”.
