- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling
Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Benifitted
Rule: *benefit* comes from Latin *bene* (well) + *facere* (do), so it is spelt bene-fit — with e, not *i*, after *ben*.
Correct forms: benefited (standard) or *benefitted* (accepted British variant).
*Benifitted* is wrong in either case because of beni-.
benefit = an advantage, a gain *(लाभ, फ़ायदा)*.
Why the others are fine.
#B Beginning = the start *(आरंभ, शुरुआत)* — stress falls on *-gin*, so the n is doubled before *-ing*.
#B Business = trade, commercial work *(व्यापार, व्यवसाय)* — from *busy*: the y becomes i, giving *busi-ness*.
#B Believe = accept as true *(विश्वास करना)* — the rule *i before e except after c*: bel-ie-ve.
Answer: Benifitted
*Bene = well, as in benefit, benevolent a
