Which sentence contains a misspelled word?
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) His absense at the meeting was noted by the manager.
Correct Answer: Option 1 — "His absense at the meeting was noted by the manager."
The misspelled word is " absense " — the correct spelling is "absence."
Correct spelling: a - b - s - e - n - c - e
The error: ' absense ' uses 's' instead of 'c' before '-e'. The correct word has '-c-' (absence), not '-s-' ( absense ).
Memory tip: absence = abs + ence (like 'presence' → absence is its antonym; both end in '- ence ' not '- ense ').
Why other options are correct:
Options 2, 3, and 4 all spell 'absence' correctly.
