  6. SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Higher Secondary Level) Spelling

    Choose the option that completes the sentence using the correct spelling.
    My best friend is an ______ optimist.

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: C) incorrigible

    Meaning: incorrigible = that cannot be corrected or changed *(असुधार्य, जिसे सुधारा न जा सके)*.
    An incorrigible optimist is a person whose hopefulness nothing can change — a fixed collocation.

    Build the spelling.
    in + corrig(e) (from Latin *corrigere*, to correct — note double r) + -ible
    = in-cor-ri-gi-ble: double r, single g, ending -ible.

    Why the others are wrong.
    #B incorigible — drops one r; *correct* has two, and so does *incorrigible*.
    #B incorriggible — doubles the g; there is only one g, as in *eligible, legible*.
    #B incorrigable — wrong ending -able; the Latin root takes -ible *(जैसे legible, eligible)*.

    Answer: incorrigible

    *Think 'correct' (rr) + 'eligible' (single g, -ible).*
