3. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling

   Choose the correctly spelt word:

   AEpitomeBEpitomiCEpittomeDEpittomi
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: A) Epitome

   Meaning: epitome = a perfect example of a quality, the very picture of it; also a summary *(प्रतिरूप, साक्षात उदाहरण, सार)*.
   *She is the epitome of patience.*
   Rule: the word comes from Greek *epitemnein*, to cut short, and keeps one t and one m, ending in -ome.
   Break it as e · pi · to · me — four syllables, said *ih-PIT-uh-mee*, with the final e sounded.
   Because that last e is pronounced, it is never written as an *i*.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • Epitomi — the sounded final *-e* has been written as *-i*; no English noun of this family ends in *-mi*.
   • Epittome — a doubled *t* that the Greek root never had.
   • Epittomi — both faults together, the doubled *t* and the *-i* ending.
   Word help.
   epi

Examples

• “She is the epitome of kindness.”
