- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Brainstorming
Meaning: brainstorming = a group discussion to produce many ideas quickly *(विचार-मंथन)*.
Build the spelling.
brain + storm + -ing
The two words keep their own spelling: b-r-a-i-n + s-t-o-r-m + i-n-g.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Brainstormming — doubles the m; a final consonant is doubled before *-ing* only after a single short vowel (*swim → swimming*). In *storm* the m follows another consonant (r), so no doubling.
#B Brainstroming — swaps *o* and *r* (*strom*); the word is storm *(तूफ़ान)*.
#B Branstorming — drops the *i* of brain *(मस्तिष्क)*; *bran* is the husk of grain *(चोकर)*.
Answer: Brainstorming
*Brain + storm, both intact, then -ing — no letter added, none lost.*
