Select the correctly spelt word to replace the underlined word in the given sentence.
The bouyant atmosphere of the festival cheered everyone up.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Buoyant
Rule: buoyant comes from *buoy* (a floating marker), spelt b-u-o-y — u before o — plus the ending -ant.
Buoyant = cheerful and optimistic; also able to float *(उल्लासपूर्ण, प्रफुल्ल; उत्प्लावक)*.
A *buoyant atmosphere* is a lively, cheerful one.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Bouyant — the given word; o and u are swapped.
#B Boyant — drops the u altogether.
#B Buoyent — right start, but the adjective ending is -ant, not *-ent*.
Answer: Buoyant
*Spell the buoy first — b-u-o-y — then add -ant.*
