Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Anniversary
Correct Answer: Option 1 — "Anniversary"
"Anniversary" is the correctly spelled word meaning the date on which an event happened in a previous year. It comes from the Latin ' anniversarius ' (returning yearly).
Correct spelling: A - n - n - i - v - e - r - s - a - r - y
Key: the suffix is '- ary ' (not '- ery '), and ' vers ' in the middle (not ' verss ' or ' verss ').
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 " Anniversery " — wrong suffix; ends in '- ery ' instead of '- ary '.
Option 3 " Anniverssary " — double 's' in '- ssary ' is incorrect; only one 's' is correct.
Option 4 " Anniverssery " — double 's' AND wrong suffix '- ery '. Both errors combined. - SSC CGL 2019 T-2 One Word Substitution
