Select the correctly spelt word to replace the highlighted word in the given sentence.
He was a debonare and charming gentleman.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Debonair
Meaning: debonair = confident, stylish and charming, usually said of a man *(सजीला, शालीन और आकर्षक, बाँका)*.
From Old French *de bon aire* — "of good disposition".
Correct spelling: d-e-b-o-n-a-i-r — it ends in -air, like the French *aire*.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Debonayer — *-ayer* is a phonetic guess; there is no *y* in the word.
#B Debonairee — adds a false *-ee* ending, as if it were a person-noun like *employee*.
#B Debonare — the misspelling in the sentence itself, with *-are* (as in *care*) for -air.
Answer: Debonair
*Debonair ends like the word air — de bon air.*
