Question

Choose the correct spelling of the word.
A)Adolesence
B)Adolescence
C)Adolessence
D)Adolesense

Answer 1

Hint: Only one of the given words are correct in spelling.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 The given word means the period following the beginning of puberty when a child is in the process of becoming an adult. The synonyms for the given word are, teen or youth. Option a, “adolesence”, is the wrong spelling for the given word, hence it is an incorrect option. Option b, adolescence, is the correct spelling for the given word, option b is correct. Option c, adolessence, is the wrong spelling for the given word. Option c is incorrect. Option d, adolesense, is not the correct spelling for the word, either, hence it is incorrect as well. Option b has the correct spelling and hence is the correct option.

Note: Here, one must know the correct spelling of the word given in the options as well as the question. Even though all the spellings given in the option seem very close to each other, one must be able to figure out the correct one. The only way to be able to get this question right is to know the spelling and preferably the meaning of the given word. With practice, the more one reads, it becomes a habit and with intuition, one can figure out if the spelling just looks wrong or is missing something.
