Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Committee
Correct Answer: Option 1 — "Committee"
Correct spelling: C-O-M-M-I-T-T-E-E ✓
"Committee" = a group of people appointed for a specific function by a larger group; a body delegated to consider, investigate, or take action on some matter. ✓
Key pattern: COM-MIT-TEE — double 'm,' double 't,' double 'e.' ✓
Memory tip: 'committee' has three pairs of double letters: mm, tt, ee. ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 'Committy' — wrong suffix: '-ty' instead of '-tee.' ✗
Option 3 'Commitee' — single 't' instead of double 'tt': 'Commi-T-ee' instead of 'Commi-TT-ee.' ✗
Option 4 'Comitee' — single 'm' (wrong) + single 't' (wrong): 'Co-m-i-t-ee.' ✗ - SSC CPO 2025 T-1 Spelling
Identify the correct spelling of the misspelled word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) committee
The correctly spelled word is: committee
Rule: 'Committee' contains double 'm', double 't', and double 'e' — three doubled letters.
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 — commitee: single 't' is wrong; should be double 't'.
Option 3 — commite: missing one 't' and one 'e'.
Option 4 — committe: missing the final 'e'; should be 'committee'.
Correct answer: Option 1 — committee - SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Find the misspelt word.
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Committe
Rule: committee keeps every letter doubled — mm, tt, ee: com-mit-tee.
Compare *commit* → *committed* → *committee*; the noun adds a full -ee ending, like *employee* and *referee*.
The printed Committe *(समिति)* drops the final e — the misspelt word is option 1.
Correct form: Committee.
Why the others are fine.
• Billboards *(विज्ञापन पट्ट, होर्डिंग)* — bill + boards, both l's kept.
• Imperative *(अनिवार्य, आदेशात्मक)* — im-per-a-tive, one p and one r.
• Sentence *(वाक्य)* — sen-tence, ends in -ence, not -ance.
Word help.
misspelt = spelt wrongly *(ग़लत वर्तनी वाला)*.
*Committee has three pairs — mm, tt, ee — and the last pair is the one students drop.*
