- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Characteristic
Meaning: characteristic = a typical feature or quality of a person or thing *(विशेषता, लक्षण)*.
Build the spelling.
character + -istic = c-h-a-r-a-c-t-e-r-i-s-t-i-c
The whole word *character* stays intact, and the suffix is -istic (as in *art → artistic*).
Why the others are wrong.
#B Characterstic — drops the i of *-istic*; the word has five syllables: char·ac·ter·is·tic.
#B Charactaristic — writes *-tar-* for -ter-; the base word is *character*.
#B Characterestic — writes *-estic* for -istic; the suffix vowel is i.
Answer: Characteristic
*Character + istic — keep the base whole and add the -istic suffix.*
