Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Bureaucrat
Correct Answer: Option 3 — "Bureaucrat"
Correct spelling: B-U-R-E-A-U-C-R-A-T ✓
"Bureaucrat" = an official in a bureaucracy; a government official who follows a rigid, inflexible adherence to rules and procedures. ✓
Key pattern: BUREAU + CRAT
• 'Bureau' (from French) = B-U-R-E-A-U = a writing desk; an office; a government department ✓
• '-crat' (from Greek ' kratos ' = power/rule) = a member of a governing body ✓
Memory tip: Think of 'BUREAU' (the French word, like 'bureau de change') + '-CRAT' (like 'democrat,' 'autocrat'). ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 1 ' Beaurocrat ' — 'Beau-' instead of 'Bure-'; swaps 'eau' and ' ure ' sequences. ✗
Option 2 ' Burocrat ' — missing 'eau' in 'burea
