auxiliary in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Auxiliary
Rule: the Latin prefix ad- takes on the root's first letter, so at-tach, at-tend and as-soci-ate all carry a double consonant.
A word that never had the prefix, like auxiliary, follows its own root.
Example: *attach → attachment*, *attend → attendance*, *associate → association*.
The correctly spelt word.
Auxiliary = giving extra help or support; a supporting form *(सहायक)*.
From Latin *auxilium* (help): aux-il-i-ary — remember the i before *ary*, and only one l.
Why the others are wrong.
• Assosiation — the correct form is association = a group of people joined for a purpose; a connection *(संघ, संगति)*; the c of *associate* has been replaced by s.
• Atachment — the correct form is attachme
