Answer 1

Hint: Spelling of a word means a group of letters arranged in a meaningful sequence. When this sequence is incorrect, the spelling is termed to be misspelled. Example: The spelling ‘alphabet’ is correct, while ‘alfabet’ is wrong. We will look for an option which is misspelled.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually to figure out the correct answer.
Compitition: The word ‘compition’ is incorrectly spelt and there is no such word in English language. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Competetion: The word ‘competetion’ is incorrectly spelt and there is no such word in English language. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Competition: The word ‘competition ‘ is correctly spelt and it means a kind of rivalry for supremacy. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Competesion: The word ‘competesion’ is incorrectly spelt and there is no such word in English language. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: There are a lot of words whose pronunciations are different from their spellings. For this knowledge we should be regular in reading and learning new words everyday. Example:
‘Priest’, the pronunciation of this word can confuse us with this spelling and we can misspell it as ‘preest’.
