- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Graduate Level) Spelling
Identify the incorrectly spelt word in the following sentence:
Their dweellings were made of mud with roofs of tin and tarpaulin.Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Dweellings
Meaning: dwellings = houses or places where people live *(आवास, निवास-स्थान)*.
It comes from the verb dwell = to live *(निवास करना)*: d-w-e-l-l + ings.
There is one e after *w*; *Dweellings* doubles it.
Correct: Dwellings
Why the others are fine.
#B Roofs = the top coverings of buildings *(छतें)* — the plural of *roof* simply adds -s (not *rooves*).
#B Tin = a soft silver-white metal, here tin sheets *(टिन)*.
#B Tarpaulin = heavy waterproof cloth *(तिरपाल)* — tar-pau-lin.
Answer: Dweellings
*Dwell has one e and two l's: dwell → dwelling.*
