- Delhi Police HCM 2025-26 Spelling
One of these words is spelled incorrectly. Which one is it?
Answer & explanation
Answer: C) Committment
The correctly spelled word should be "Commitment" (only one "t" in the middle). " Committment " is therefore wrong. "Maneuver", "Threshold" and "Exaggerate" are all spelled correctly. Hence the incorrectly spelled word is Committment .

Choose the option that completes the sentence using the correct spelling.
The journalist made a ______ to finish the article by Friday.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) commitment
Meaning: commitment = a promise or firm decision to do something *(प्रतिबद्धता, वचन)*.
*She made a commitment to finish the project on time.*
Spell it in parts.
com + mit + ment
Double m (com-mit), single t before *-ment*.
The *t* is doubled only before a vowel suffix: *committed, committee* — but *-ment* starts with a consonant, so commitment keeps one t.
Why the others are wrong.
#B committent — doubles the t and drops the *m* of *-ment*; no such word.
#B comittment — single m and double t: both doubles in the wrong place.
#B commiment — the *t* of *commit* is lost altogether.
Answer: commitment
*Committed and committee double the t; commitment does not.* - SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Identify the misspelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Committment
Meaning: the misspelt word is Committment. The correct spelling is commitment = a pledge, or dedication to a cause *(प्रतिबद्धता, वचनबद्धता)*.
Rule: *commit* ends in a single stressed vowel plus a consonant, so the final t doubles only before a suffix that begins with a vowel.
• Vowel suffix, so the t doubles: committed, committing, committee.
• Consonant suffix, so the t stays single: commitment.
The same rule runs through equip: *equipped*, *equipping*, but equipment.
Why the others are fine.
• farrago = a confused jumble of unrelated things *(घालमेल, मिश्रण, खिचड़ी)* — double *r*, single *g*.
• imbroglio = a complicated and embarrassing entanglement *(उलझन भरी स्थिति, पेचीदा झगड़ा)* — Ita - SSC CPO 2022 T-1 Spelling
