countermove in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the option which is incorrectly spelt.
Answer & explanation
Answer: D) Counttermoove
Rule: the prefix counter- (against, in return) is added to a whole word unchanged, and nothing is doubled at the join — *counter + move* = countermove.
Example: *The general planned a swift countermove.*
Counttermoove doubles both the t and the o, so it is the misspelt option.
The correct form is countermove = an action taken to oppose another *(जवाबी कदम, प्रत्युत्तर में की गई चाल)*.
Why the others are fine.
• Contemporary = belonging to the same period, or modern *(समकालीन, आधुनिक)* — correctly spelt.
• Countermarch = a march back along the way one came *(विपरीत दिशा में कूच)* — correct.
• Counteroffensive = an attack launched in reply to an enemy attack *(जवाबी आक्रमण)* — correct, with do
