Select the INCORRECTLY spelt word in the given sentence.
Applicants who are younger and prettier than you will continue appliying.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) appliying
Answer: a) appliying
Explanation:
The word "appliying" is incorrectly spelt.
• The correct spelling is "applying" – when adding -ing to the verb "apply", the 'y' changes to 'i' only in some cases, but in this case it stays 'y':
apply → applying
Other words:
• Applicants = correct (आवेदक)
• Younger = correct (छोटा)
• Prettier = correct comparative form of "pretty" (ज़्यादा सुंदर)
Only "appliying" is incorrect.
