a)Enthuseeastic
b)Enthusiateec
c)Enthusiastic
d)Enthusiartic

Answer 1

Hint: Try to pronounce the word and phonetically match the spelling.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 The only way to correctly guess the answer is to try and match the sound of the word to the spelling of the word.

We all know how this word is pronounced. It would be pronounced as en-thu-zee-as-tick. Now let’s look at the options one by one:

a)enthuseeastic - The middle of the word is written as ‘see’ which would be pronounced as ‘c’ which is not correct. So, this option is wrong.
b)enthusiateec - The middle part of this word is incorrect as well, because there is no second ’s’ sound before ’t’. The ending of the word is also incorrect because it would make the wrong sound. So, this option is also wrong.
c)enthusiastic - This word completely aligns with the above pronunciation and is spelled correctly. So, this is the correct option.
d)enthusiartic - There is no ‘r’ in the required word. This additional letter will mess with the sound of the word and is grammatically incorrect. So, this option is incorrect.

Note: Match the spelling to its transliteration to correctly identify the spelling of the required word.
