Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Environment
Correct Answer: Option 1 — "Environment"
Correct spelling: E-N-V-I-R-O-N-M-E-N-T ✓
"Environment" = the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates; the natural world as a whole or in a particular geographical area.
Memory tip: en -VI-RON- ment . The key is 'ENVIRON' (to surround) + '- ment .' No letters are dropped. ✓
Why other options are wrong:
Option 2 ' Enviroment ' — missing 'n' before 'm' ('environ- ment ' not 'enviro- ment '). ✗
Option 3 ' Enviornment ' — letters 'o' and 'r' are transposed ('environ' becomes ' enviorn '). ✗
Option 4 ' Envirment ' — missing both 'o' and 'n' from 'environ.' ✗ - SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Choose the correctly spelt word:
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Environment
Rule: build the word from its parts — environ + -ment.
*Environ* (from Old French *environner*, "to surround") is a complete word, and the noun suffix *-ment* is added to it whole, with nothing dropped: *govern + ment*, *judge + ment*, *develop + ment*.
So the letters run E-N-V-I-R-O-N-M-E-N-T, with *-r-o-n-* in that order before the suffix, and the suffix always *-ment*, never *-mant*.
Environment = the natural world, or the surroundings one lives in *(पर्यावरण, परिवेश)* — the only correctly spelt option.
Why the others are wrong.
• Enviroment — the *n* of *environ* has been dropped *(वर्तनी त्रुटि — 'environ' का 'n' छूट गया)*; this is the commonest slip of all.
• Enviornment — *r* and *o*
Examples
- “We must protect the environment for future generations.”
