chauffeur in SSC previous-year questions

1. SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling

   Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.

   AConscientiousBCorrigendumCChauffueerDChameleon
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Chauffueer

   Rule: chauffeur comes from French *chauffer* (to heat) + -eur, so it ends in -eur: C-H-A-U-F-F-E-U-R *(वाहन-चालक, निजी ड्राइवर)*.
   The printed *Chauffueer* scrambles the ending into -ueer — an extra *u* and *e*.
   
   Why the others are fine.
   #B Conscientious = careful and doing one's duty honestly *(कर्तव्यनिष्ठ, ईमानदार)* — *con + science + tious*; note the sci.
   #B Corrigendum = a printed list of corrections to a document *(शुद्धिपत्र)* — Latin *corrigere*, to correct; plural *corrigenda*.
   #B Chameleon = a lizard that changes colour *(गिरगिट)*; also a fickle person — spelt cha-me-leon.
   
   Answer: Chauffueer
   
   *Chauffeur, amateur, entrepreneur — French borrowings end in -eur.*
