Question

Select the word that is misspelt.
a. rudiment
b. plaintif
c. cornered
d. concerned

Answer 1

Hint:
We need to thoroughly go through the words given in our question and find out the misspelled word. We can find the correct answer if we also know the meaning of each and every word given in our options.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Let us examine all the options carefully and find the correct answer.
So, here option [b] is our correct answer, because the word plaintif is misspelled and the correct spelling is the plaintiff. So, the meaning of the plaintiff is a person who starts a legal procedure against someone in a court of law. A Plaintiff can also be called the accuser.
Option [a] is wrong because the word rudiment is spelled correctly and it means the basic fact about an activity.
Option [c] is wrong because cornered is also spelled correctly, it means the feeling of being left out.
Option [d] is wrong because the spelling of the word concerned is also written correctly. The meaning of the word concerned is that, involved in something or someone seriously that one is worried about it while thinking.

Note:
One might get confused while spelling the plaintiff due to the double ‘f’ used in the word and only add the single letter “f” at last. The words that we fail to spell correctly or the words that are spelled in the wrong way are misspelled. Learning commonly misspelled words or making a list of the words we have trouble spelling, helps us to make fewer grammatical errors while writing and speaking.
